Backyard Shenanigans

The mini-hard-sided pool has been a hit this summer.  Last summer we had a big 20 foot inflatable pool, used it twice, and in a bad storm it blew across the lake never to return.  So, this summer I told Pat I wanted a hard sided pool that could easily be dumped, dried out, and stored in the garage.  Finley picked out the pink one and although it's a size smaller than I envisioned, she has played with it enough for us to already have made a return on our investment!


Fiona on the other hand would prefer to stand at the water table and drink the water by the pitcher full, so naturally I have to make sure that water is always fresh too!  She sat in the pool a few weekends ago while we finished a mulching project and was happy for over an hour with Finley until Finley asked me to refill the pool water.  When I walked over it was very cloudy.  It turns out Fiona had marked her territory with a number 2.  That will ruin an afternoon in the mini-pool, I tell ya.  Hopefully the grass was fertilized when I dumped out the water :)



This humidity has turned her hair into a mess of curls.  I love it, but also can't wait until it's a little longer and can be partially tamed!


I am surprised Finley isn't plugging her nose - she does when she runs through the sprinkler!


She's all teeth these days!
