Fun in the sun at the pool

This year has been incredibly hot earlier than normal so what better way to cool off than the pool.  Papa has been busily cleaning the house on Saturday so we could spend some time as a family on Sunday before his 5 day trip to Atlanta and my start of single parenting Oh My!!!!!

We got down to the pool about 11.00 am with the intention of staying a few hours before Papa's departure but the kids were having too much fun and I was fully convinced that time at the pool = no agruments at the house = one less stressed mummy.

I took advantage of Papa entertaining Boo Boo and Bambeano while I soaked up some rays, listened to my iTunes and enjoyed the peace and relaxation......



Papa did a quick run to McDonald's for some hungry tummies of Boo Boo and Bambeano, yes the had devoured the healthy picnic of carrots, strawberries and a few chips, so I guess all that swimming does make for some hunger work and I did not anticipate we would be at the pool that long.

After saying good bye to Papa the kids went back into the pool for some more fun, this time diving sticks.  now the pool is a wonderful thing because not only is it a great place to cool off but their are other families that Boo Boo and Bambeano have no issues with making friends and playing.

Next it was time to push Mummy in the pool and do jumps together, this I do enjoy and had great fun with plenty of laughter.  After some jumps I decided to get my phone so I could send Papa the pictures of what he was missing.




Here's to a great summer of fun at the pool :)

End of a great season and a new nickname for Bambeano

Bambeano who we now affectionately call Lil Bombshell and what a Bombshell he was this season.

We had a great season, some wins, some loses but overall great fun.

Bambeano had an awesome season ending with 18 goals in 12 games including 4 hat tricks (3 goals in a game).

He has come a long way with his soccer skills especially after watching premiership with Papa and playing Fifa11 on the Wii.  A few weeks ago he saw a corner kick that was converted straight into a goal and he responded he wanted to do that.

Well a few games later (4) and several practices in game he DID IT.  Not only did he score from a corner kick but he did in style hitting the far post after curving it LIKE BECKHAM and passing through several players for a one touch goal.

I am SO proud of you Bambeano putting your mind to it and getting your corner kick goal WAY TO GO
