Happy Labor Day
We had a nice day running errands then spending a relaxing evening at home. Early this morning Angie grabbed her swimsuit and wanted to go out to the "water"--the medium sized pink plastic pool we set up in our backyard since the Public Pool closed for the season a few weeks ago. Unfortunately we couldn't immediately oblige her because we had errands to run to prepare for our new refrigerator. So I promised we would get the pool out later.
At 4:30pm, Angie grabbed her suit again. Daddy Monster insisted on snacks before the pool so we had a pouty child until she realized that Daddy's very spicy salsa was quite tasty. I ran outside to fill the pool. Apparently, when Angie heard me pulling the hose to the faucet, she grabbed her Little Swimmer and took it straight to Daddy.
Angie was very excited about the pool, however, she doesn't like to sit in the pool (too cold apparently). So I spent the evening watching Angie fill a little watering can with water from the pool, run them to two measuring cups she had placed on our steps, then proceed to dump the water out of the cups with dramatic flair. Each time she finished she would running back to the pool shouting, "More Water!" I'm not sure what was the point of the exercise, but she loved it and it kept her amused for some time.
We had the traditional Labor Day Feast of hot dogs and french fries on a card table in our back yard because most of the stuff we had stored on the old refrigerator was sitting on the kitchen table. Angie sat in her high chair, happily eating her hot dog and staring in wonder at the big blue sky. Her Dad and I felt the same way--blue skies are rare in Cleveland. Just kidding.
It was a wonderful, mild evening to spend with our little family.
