OH HOW IT TAKES ME BACK!!!

Its funny how just a random day at the pool can mean so much to me. The girls and I have had a rough time lately. They haven't been getting along at all. Fight all the time. And never have anything nice to say to each other. Which of course makes me get on to them ALL THE TIME. So I spend the majority of my time upset with them, instead of enjoying them. It can be a no win situation sometimes and very frustrating at times. Because they are growing up so fast, I mean right before my very eyes. So I have been trying to come up with something that I can do with them, where we can all laugh, and enjoy each other.... even if its just for an hour. Well its funny how that opportunity just falls in your lap.



Yesterday, we all put our suits on and got in the pool around 10:30. And we were out there for a while. After sitting in the sun, WHICH IS MISERABLE.... I had to get in. And let me throw this in.... Ally is not an independent child. She has to have someone to play with. She can't just play by herself. (second child syndrome) So after a while you really have to find something to keep her entertained. So.... I grabbed Abby and we started doing basket tosses with her. She was loving it. We even threw Lance in the mix. Don't have any pics of that one, because we were all in the pool. But then it got really fun. I started teaching them how to do extensions, and everything. Ally was amazing. She was so proud of herself. And even Abby was proud of her. We did this for hours. I can't tell you how much I hurt today. I have a video and some still shots that Lance captured of the fun. I know that these moments are very few and far between, but I sure do enjoy them while they last.


Even after we got out and all had calmed down, I heard in the next room, Abby said to Ally. "you really did a great job in the pool today. I am so proud of you". WOW.. for those of you that don't know my girls that well.... that is A MIRACLE. Hope you enjoy these.

Look at this smile. Is this not the sweetest thing ever!!!! Need to work on the form though :)

This is Abby and I trying to cradle Ally. Abby and I's faces are PRICELESS!!!
