A Pool Story

So, as luck would have it, Koen (being as he is a curious boy) decided with a friend that he wanted to see what would happen if he threw some rocks over a fence into our neighbors giant pool. Well, what happened cost us a pretty penny,and a seriously sad night! The pool got a hole in it, and we got to purchase the neighbor a new one.  I just wish I understood why boys are so curious! I guess girl can be too, but boys just seem to do the bigger things that cause much bigger problems. I called my mom to see if I had ever done something that cost that much money, and she was like no, but your bother did. I honestly think it is a boy thing, maybe Havyn will prove me wrong someday.

So the next day Tyrell and I decide that we had spent enough money, and that the pool Koen had torn just needed a patch (the neighbor did NOT want a patch). We decided we needed to do everything we could to get the pool and fix it. Spending that much money just made us sick! The lady had told me the night before that if we wanted it we could have it, but at the time I was just in find a pool, punish and teach Koen that what he did wasn't ok mode so I didn't say one way or another. As they were laying in out to dry and cleaning it, we started to worry that maybe she wasn't going to offer it to us after all. So I whipped up a batch of brownies and headed on over there. Just as we had thought, when I brought it up she was like oh well I haven't even talked to my husband about it. The whole thing was fishy for more than one reason ( I am not going to explain the whole thing), but it all came down to them being dishonest. I came back home and discussed the situation with Tyrell, and we headed back over there together. We had no plans to leave without the pool, and we didn't. We patched it, and it worked, and now we have a giant pool in our backyard.

Kai is absolutely scared to death of it. We tried to show him that he won't sink as long as he wears his tube, and actually we didn't fill it full enough for him to not be able to reach the bottom, but he is still scared to death. He stands on the outside. The little two cried like crazy at first, but soon realized it was great fun! And Koen LOVES it, which worries me that he won't remember that what he did was wrong. We debated even putting it up this year, but we wanted to check the patch, and then when we realized just how much water it took to fill it we had to use it, and I don't really feel like dumping it just yet!
