Child's Play

We did it. Everyone else is doing it, which right off makes me not want to do it, but we did it anyway. We bought a pool and set it up yesterday.

I know, I know… we could have used the money for something much more important like paying off debt, or buying useful tools, or even putting aside for an emergency.

Plus there's the expense of water and upkeep.

And we have the creek we could use. 

But....  (here I go, trying to justify another frivolous purchase)

The pool keeps the children closer to the house where I can keep an eye on them.

 I know we'll still go to the creek from time to time because it’s just so much neater than the  pool.

And as hard as the children have been working with me around here, cleaning up the storm mess and gardening, I wanted to reward them with a quick cool-off on hot afternoons...

And look how much they enjoy it…

While tilling the potato patch today dh had an idea on how to build a tool to hill potatoes. It easy to build and works well. Much faster then hilling with a hoe.
