Last week, the kids and I made a trip to Walmart in search of a new swimming pool. As it turned out, buying it was the easy part. I didn’t think I would ever get the silly thing set up. After I finally got it set up and filled with water, I realized for that particular size pool, the recommendation was three adults for setting it up correctly. No wonder it was such a pain to do by myself.

Anyway, it was worth it, as you can see from these pictures of David and Brooke in their new little pool.

And now she’s ready to get even!

I also purchased milk at $1.99/gal and ground chuck at $1.99/lb at Kroger. These obviously are not included in the totals above. I didn’t have coupons for them. They were just on sale. It was a good day.

Here are some pictures of our trip to the lake last weekend. We hung out with my parents for a couple of weeks since Chuck is on a business trip in Hawaii.

I didn’t think we would ever get the kids out of the water. They would have stayed in all day if we had let them.

As you can see, Brooke was thoroughly enjoying here chocolate ice cream. It was real good.

This was my first time working Walgreens’ sales. Mom and Dad got some benefits out of this trip. The Revlon Colorsilk is for Mom and the Dentek floss picks are for Dad. Not bad, I’d say.

Last Saturday, Grannie and Pops bought David a new bike. While we were at the lake a couple of weeks ago, we realized David’s knees were hitting the handle bars of his bike. It was time for a new big boy one. Here are a few pictures of David on his new bike. Doesn’t he look happy?

David graduated from preschool on May 14th and I’m just now getting a couple of the pictures posted for you. He did so good. All the kids were well behaved and the program went very well.

This is two of the four year old classes singing some songs for us.

Of course, this is David receiving his certificate for completing preschool. As the teachers passed out the individual certificates, they told us what the kids said they want to be when they grow up. David said he wants to be a policeman. His teacher said that suited him because he likes to tell people what to do and how to do it. Hmmm.
