Summer is official

This morning, Mary and I went to yard sales. I got Katie 8 new books for 50 cents each. It was a $75 value. I was going to buy a couple of the books at Walmart for $9.99, so getting them for 50 cents was a steal. Especially, since they were in brand new condition.

After I came home, I had to babysit Katie while Heather went to her Saturday class. She was in a bad mood so I put her to bed for about 45 minutes. When she woke up, she was in a much better mood.

We read her new books and she went in the pool. Her top fell in the pool before I could get it on her, so she wouldn't let me put it on her once it was wet. I got the pool last year for $20 from a yard sale. This is her second year using it and it's still in great shape. The slide was included. It will probably be another year before she really takes to it. For some reason, Step 2 has discontinued the slide, which is a shame, because it's really a nice size for kids. It was originally a couple hundred dollars.

Afterwards she played with her Thomas the Tank Engine that I got her for $1. You push the head down and it takes off on it's own. She liked that a lot. We also drew with chalk, then she ate pizza and cherry juice.

Heather picked her up at 2:30. Getting Dora wet.

Getting used to the water.

Dora went swimming too.

Going down the slide

Reading her books.

Getting her books ready. We read them about 5 times each.

Playing in the pool

Oops..Splashed in her face. She liked drinking water out of the hose She probably drank a quart.

Here she is, playing with Thomas. She would send it to me and I would send it back to her.

She tried to get risky here. I wonder what goes through kids' minds. LOL. For some reason, she laid down so Thomas could run her over.
