Becoming one...and bumper boats...

DAY 137 - May 17, 2009

Bumper Boats from Santa...what could be better? The boys had been asking to get these out and put together so they could use them in the pool. We finally did it today. It wasn't warm enough for me to swim - only about 65 degrees - but they were determined to get in. Good thing we've got a heater on the pool!

Kaleb wanted to put his together by himself and he pretty much did. He assembled the steering wheel and motor and even used the foot pumper that came with it to inflate it. Kaden and I worked together but wimped out and used the inflater (is that a word?) that plugs into the car. Believe it or not, Kaleb was done before we were!

Both boys got in and the boats worked perfectly! What a blast they'll have this summer tooling around the pool in those things. I think Doug and I will have to use them also...there is even a cup holder on it so it's perfect for relaxing!

DAY 136 - May 16, 2009

Today a friend of mine got married. I've worked with Shawna at ATL since July 2008. She recently found another position and I miss hanging out with her in the mornings. She and I were usually in by about 6:30am so we kept each other company. Her wedding was beautiful. She is not Mrs. Joel Call.
