Pool Party!

Well it looks like we're pretty much done with the pool ordeal, as long as nothing goes wrong when we get it filled up. D planned on only painting the part that he repaired, but once he got started painting it we realized how drastically different the old paint looked from the new paint. It's only been two years since we painted it, but I guess the Texas sun really does a number on paint. Soooo, we needed two more gallons of paint to paint the whole pool again at $80 per gallon. Cha-ching goes the register at the pool store. Wow, they must love us this summer!

It was so much easier to paint the pool this time though, thank God! The last time we painted it, we ended up doing it in a freak wind storm. Painting outdoors in a wind storm was pretty much a nightmare which had me in tears. This time we took time to actually pray over the pool and ask that God bless the project, and it appears that He has.

Later I'm going to the library to check out two books that Gretchen has recommended. I should've been reading all summer while I've been off work, but oh well...maybe I can get a couple of books read in the time I've got left. I also wanted to check out the book T needs for his summer reading project (he should've been reading before now too!). That won't be happening because it looks like all the other kids must've waited till the last minute too. All the books are checked out at the library, so we'll be stopping at Barnes and Noble to buy that one.

Have a good day peeps!
