My chaotic life raising six kids
Jared, Riley and Aidan received their Cub Scout Religious Awards today. Jared and Riley received the Light of Christ Award and Aidan Received the Parvuli Dei award. The all worked very hard last summer to complete all the requirements for this award.
The cold water temperatures didn’t stop the kids from jumping in the pool as soon as they pool guy told them they could dive in. They had a lot of fun exploring all the places they could jump off of and swimming all around the pool. I’m waiting till we can turn on the heater before I get in.
That got the pool equipment hooked up today and we turned on the slide, waterfall and spillways!
Today was also the first time the pool lights were turned on.
We enrolled Falyn in a four week beginning ice skating class. She is taking the class with her friend Samantha. She really liked the class and is doing quite well.
The pool heater was hooked up to the gas meter today. We still have to wait a few weeks till we can run the heater though.
Talia aced her permit test and got her driver’s permit today. It is more than a little scary to think about your child driving. I’m sure she will be a great driver. It’s all the other crazy drivers out there that I worry about.
Percy the Pig got to visit Falyn this weekend. He goes home each weekend with one child in her preschool class. At the end of the weekend, they write about their weekend. They then get to share it with the class the next week. Percy got to share in the excite of the pool being plastered and filled. Here’s a better look at the pictures.
The pool is filled! We are so thrilled to have the pool filled with water. It has been such a long road to get to this point. We can’t turn on the heater for a few weeks, but that isn’t stopping the kids from playing in it. Thankfully, we are having Santa Anas, which provide us with warm sunny days. Isn’t it beautiful? I just love the color. So pleased with how the pebble coat turned out.
The day we have waited for for so long is finally here! They did the acid wash and then started filling the pool. The kids were so excited. They could not wait to jump in. The water was freeze cold and it was only around 68 degrees outside, but that did not stop them.
