Swimming Pool????

Here in El Paso, there is almost nothing but sand. As far as the eye can see, there is sand. The home we bought does not have a finished back yard, and we haven't quite gotten around to doing it ourselves. (we will as soon as our tax refund arrives). In the meantime, the kids are dying to play in their pool!!! But with all the sand and dirt, we haven't allowed them to play in the pool to save ourselves, (mostly me) a huge muddy mess to clean up. However, the other day we discovered them in their bathing suits, in the yard, with the cooler full of water, "swimming". It's not a big cooler and there was not much room for them, but they had the time of their lives.
(cute side story): We heard the girls arguing and so Adam went out to see what all the fuss was about. When he got there, he heard the girls saying a prayer together to help them be nice to each other, so that they wouldn't have to get out of their "pool". How cute is that?
