On having a kiddie pool....

few things have given me a bigger giggle recently than this morning's kiddie pool adventure. i'm watching elizabeth and her older brother, who resents the fact that he's at my house. causes a bit of trouble while he's here, and there you have it....well...being the girl that i am, i try my hardest to do at least one fun activity with the snot while he's held captive at my zoo. so...i check my trusty rust Children's Busy Book by Trish Kuffner, and find a penny toss game using the kiddie pool and a butter tub. you float the butter tub on the water in the shallowly filled butter tub and make a game of tossing pennies into it. it was fun....until erin decided to climb in with her clothes on! LOL where's the camera when you need it??? so...after the game, i decided to let everyone take off their shoes and socks and take a foot bath in the pool. was too fun, and i'm glad that i spent the minimal effort and dollars in doing it.
