I was very lazy today. In the morning I did pay bills. Throughout the day I did manage to change sheets on beds and get laundry started, barely. But, that's about as productive as I got. I just could not get myself motivated to do much of anything.

Anicka spent the night last night. She and Caleb tried to get up at 4:00 a.m. Considering how tired I was last night and the fact that I did not sleep well, I was NOT a happy camper. I was very ready for Anikca to go home today at 3:00 pm.

After Anikca went home we went pool shopping. The pool we bought last summer had a hole in it already. Michael decided we would get the snap together kind this year. I tried to tell him last year that's what we should get. We went to two Wal-marts, Toys R Us, K-Mart and two Targets before we finally bought one. It's a bit bigger than the one we had last summer. This one is 12 ft across and 3 feet deep. It came with a new ladder, which is good because the old ladder isn't tall enough. I guess I'll Freecycle it.

The kids helped Michael put the pool together. Caleb took his job very seriously. He was in charge of putting the "feet" on the support legs and adding the "elbows" to them. He and Michaela were in heaven spending that time with their daddy. I took pictures. It was cute to watch them all working together.

Michael had just started filling the pool up when the kids went to bed. It won't get very full tonight. It's going to take quite a while to fill as it's big. We'll have to finish filling it up tomorrow.
