A Wahm Afternoon

One of the great things about being a Wahm is when you’re work is done you can go out and play ~ no matter what time it is. (you can even play hookie for a whole day without havning to answer to anyone!!)

Anyway ~ today I got my work done by 12:30p (the big stuff anyway) so Hanna and I grabbed lunch and then we went to the POOL!

She LOVES to swim. We usually go to the lake since we have a lake sticker and it doesn’t cost us anything to swim, but today there was just something about crystal clear water, with waterfalls and all kinds of fun water things that called to me.

She was having a blast ~ I got a couple pictures (no I didn’t forget the camera this time ~ my mom is still not letting me live it down that I forgot the camera for the Combine ride ~ yikes)

Just a couple minutes after this photo was taken ~ she jumped out of the pool and promptly fell down skinning both her knees.

After I scooped her up we sat under the big umbrella in the water to see how bad the wounds were 🙂 I asked her if she wanted to go home ~ and she said YES.

I said, ok, but let’s sit down and get your knees to stop bleeding first and then see how we feel.

We sat over next to the lifeguard (who never moved a muscle) and he said “oh I saw you fall down over there ~ are you ok?” (and then asked me if there was blood over there on the pool deck). She started to warm up and milk the knee wounds for all they were worth.

Finally she decided she wasn’t quite ready to go home. We played in the little toddler pool, and went into the big pool as well. It was a lot of fun ~ a great way to spend a couple hours.

Saturday we created these great t shirts for Father’s Day. We made one for her dad, and one for one of her grandpas. She had a blast and we used the rest of the paint to make some wrapping paper for the gifts. The instructions said you have to iron in the paint so it won’t come off in the wash ~ however, I was totally unable to get the red paint off the outfit she was wearing. (what was I thinking doing this whole project with clothes on her??) I did iron the paint in and they turned out great.

Here’s Hanna and her dad on Father’s Day after we got home from dinner.
