We might be crazy...but we sure have fun!

Well, this past weekend we celebrated Kiersten's 3rd Birthday. She wanted to have a pool party. So I got everything ready to have a 'Backyard Beach' pool party: blow-up kiddie pool, sunglasses, beach balls, beach ball cake, silly sprinkler, water guns, etc. And then, Saturday, Mother Nature decided to hate me and be abnormally cold and rainy. Just my luck. Of course I'm trying to figure out what to do to entertain a bunch of 2-3 year olds since my original plan is out the window, when in flies my super hero husband with a wonderful suggestion: A 'Basement Beach' pool party. He ran to Walmart and bought a bunch of plastic to hang all around the family room downstairs and proceeded to set up the kiddie pool in the basement. Meanwhile, I'm blowing up beach balls, lining the basement floor with towels, etc. Needless to say, the kids LOVED it! It was hilarious! Kiersten's party turned out awesome and she had a blast! I'm so thankful to be married to such a wonderful husband who would do anything for his family (and this proves it!) Not many people would throw a pool party in the house! Anyway, here are a few pics. Enjoy!

Kiersten all ready for her party!
