I made a rule after that. They could play in the pool for half an hour after lunch and half an hour after naptime (if they were quiet and rested), no hose, and only if their chores were done. I would take a book out with me (one and only time to read), sit in the shade of a tree and keep an eye on them. It seemed to work. Right now, we don't have a pool though, but like Ben, we have a pass to the local civic center, so we're okay. LOL I’ve been there, done that. I made a rule after that.

Next time you set the ground rules right away... no pool until Mommy has her coffee. Erin, you can NOT turn you back on kids when water is about ) This is just a given.

My kids would love a pool, but with dogs that still chew everything in sight I'm afraid to give them yet another chew toy. We have a community pool about a mile from the house and a season pass, so we're pretty much set. Between that and the lawn sprinkler they don't have many complaints. Check out Erin's web site, if you haven't already! Hi y’all,

I have baby twins and decided to buy us a pool for them this year. Ummm... what was I thinking. To make a loooonnng story short. DH bought a three ring pool, it busted after two uses, I bought a big family size pool which has lasted but took me an entire day in the hot sun blowing it up because I didn't listen to DH when he said we had the wrong air pump. Then I syphoned water from the kitchen into it so that it wouldn't be freezing for my babies and by the time I did that it was too windy and dark to swim. The next day when I took the girls for their first swim in the family pool, I took my cell phone with me. :*( Just letting you know I am feeling your pain! Stupid pools!

It's a good thing we love them so much. Sorry to hear you had such an early and chaotic morning. Don’t kids have a way of turning a perfectly good time into a disaster.
