Pool Time

Chilling in her underwear. Trying not to pee on the couch.

She went under here. Brian wasn't ready.

We bought Clara a bike helmet so her and Brian can go on my run tomorrow. Brian is going to ride his bike with the new bike trailer. So that should be fun. Then on our way back home we drove through the neighborhood next to ours to check out the new houses. I was driving and Brian asked if I say the snake in the tree. I didn't so we drove back by. Sure enough a black 3 foot snake that was about 2 inches around was trying to climb a dead tree. We sat and watched for a while. Brian got out and took some pictures. They are on his phone and I didn't download them. It was pretty crazy. I know we have snakes around here. We just hadn't seen any. I use to run in that neighborhood. We just hadn't done it in a while. Maybe if we had we would have seen him before.

It rained all morning or maybe I should say down poured all morning. So I didn't think we would go to the pool today but around 3 the clouds left and the sun came out. So we headed to the pool. I was really excited so Brian could see Clara swim. We put her in a life vest today. She asked for one. Then she didn't want us to help her in the water. She can kick her legs and move around pretty good. Then we had to do the slide. She went up and down the slide for a half an hour. My legs fell like I used a stair master. Brian caught her in the water and I walked behind her going up the stairs. She didn't want help. She would get out of the water and tell me no until I told her to be kind. Then it went to butterfly because she saw butterflies and HI Mommy. It was a good thing we were the only ones there with her hogging the slide. I thought we would be there around a hour it was closer to an hour and a half. She didn't want to go home but we needed to make dinner. As I was getting her dressed I asked Brian if he could see how much work it was for me to take her swimming while he was gone. He said I should have gotten a medal like he did in Afghanistan. I thought it was funny.

We had T-bones for dinner. Brian has really been enjoying food since he got back. We wen to El Bronco for lunch and he got the biggest thing there and ate every bite. He said the food while he was deployed was pretty gross.

We went running this morning, because I signed Brian up for a 5K on Labor Day. It was sad to see he hadn't exercised in so long he was doing so good before he left. I guess I'll have to get in back in shape. Today was the first day I felt like running since that stomach virus. It was fun to run with him and Clara. I was wanting him to push the stroller but he could only do it for so long. Clara wanted to go farther than 3.5 miles. She seemed disappointed. Tomorrow I hope to do 10-15 so she will get a longer run tomorrow in her new bike trailer.

Enjoy your weekend!! Below is a movie!
