We actually didn't start for a week because we had a cyclone headed our way and I wasn't entirely how bad it was going to be.

That swimming pool is definitely a huge reward. You (and the dogs) are going to have so much fun using it! Maybe you're wishing summer was just beginning instead of having just finished. Never mind. There's always next year!Sue Elvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461161335483760142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066366214252939738.post-49314895577480505632014-04-09T17:40:38.370+12:002014-04-09T17:40:38.370+12:00Thanks for dropping by at my blog.

I know my kids value things so much more if they have to work for them or pitch in to help. Some of my best childhood memories were doing hard work. I'm sure your girls will have great memories of working to clear and set up the pool! :)Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07184618507670551087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066366214252939738.post-58761452125653726382014-04-09T10:52:18.374+12:002014-04-09T10:52:18.374+12:00Thanks so much.
