This play kitchen was at the recycle center in the plastic bin. Mary and Pat asked the guy why it was in there, and he said someone didn't want it and of course it is plastic. So they scored this free from the guy and the kids loved it!!!! Grammie was getting served coffee from the kids while reading this day.
Shay entertained herself for almost an hour one afternoon. And yes, she dressed herself in jeans and then pjs on top! She is quite the fashionista!
The only time Shay got in the water. She agreed to get in the hot tub (don't worry it wasn't that hot) with Nate and Conley for about 10 minutes.
Tom trying to convince Shay to get in the hot tub. Conley loved getting in both the pool and the hot tub. He couldn't get enough. Unfortunately it wasn't too warm, so we had to heat the hot tub for him to be able to get in. The pool wasn't too warm, but on a couple sunny days Conley braved the cool pool waters.
Shay was not a threat to drowning at all. She usually stayed inside far from the water.
This shows how the back of the house opens up to the pool. The pool area is completely screened in, so no worries of bugs getting inside the house or in the pool area.
This is the best swim device EVER!!!! My sister told me of this product last summer and I could only find it in catalogs. Mary found this recently at Target. Conley could stay afloat without tipping and I was never concerned with him being in the water by himself when he had this on. He also loved it, which made putting it on him a piece of cake. I would highly recommend this to anyone with young kids near water. It is awesome!!! It is called "puddle jumper", or that was the marking on the back.
If you enlarge this picture you can see he is wearing his turtle "watch". It is not a watch, but that is what we called it and told the kids. They wore this when we were in the house or out front and not swimming. If the turtle gets wet an alarm sounds inside the house (extremely loud and could easily be heard if we were out front). Basically meaning if they fall or get into the pool without us being there we will know instantly. This made me feel very secure with two young kids and a pool so close. I see us using this at Mary and Tom's in Iowa in the summer as well. Thankfully the alarm never had to sound while we were there. Tom also installed alarms on all doors leading to the pool area. We turned them on at night so that if the kids woke up while we were all sleeping and tried to go out to the pool an alarm would sound. I am so thankful he took the time to think all this through and make the house safe for our kids.

What a great idea to put an alarm on his arm!! Whoever thought of that was genius (and probably rich now!)
