It's hot. And humid. Really hot and really humid. So today, Little A and I went pool shopping. We went everywhere, looking for the just the right one. Freds? Nope. Walgreens? Nope. Dollar General? Nope. So we ended up at my "love-hate relationship" place...WalMart. She really wanted one with a slide, but I wasn't willing to pay $350 for an inflatable pool. Yes, you read that correctly - THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS. Of course the picture on the side of the box did look pretty darn awesome. But alas, we spent $18 on a "snap" pool that is big enough for Little A to float in, and for me and Big B to cool off in also.
We got it home, unrolled it, and turned on the hose for what felt like an eternity. "What's THAT gonna do to the water bill?" I thought to myself. But it's hot, so we went for it. And the water...the water was cold...really cold! And oh so refreshing. Little A was a splishin' and a splashin' and loving every minute of it. Which made mama very happy.
Hope you are enjoying YOUR Saturday...and staying cool!
Cheers!

Oh, Dee, I recently went through exactly the same thing!! Last year I swore to buy a pool and could never afford it, so I still have not bought one! The one I would just LOVE to get was on sale at Big Lot's for $219.00, but didn't have that much to spend on a pool right then so we STILL don't have one. I will probably end up getting a smaller one if I can find the right size. Thanks so much for your comment on the Reese's Twins. They really are good and I am a sucker for them! Did you look farther and see the recipe for the payday clone? Take care, Friend.
