Sweet Summer Fun

I have to write about our family time today. This afternoon after Grace took a good nap we pumped up our swimming toys and took her to the pool. There is something so very sweet about watching your husband walking hand in hand with your daughter (in her pink swimming suit) and his other arm overflowing with a hot pink swimming tube, hot pink inflatable mattress and pink arm bands that float. Watching them walk in front of me I just grinned thinking of the effect our sweet little girl has had on my manly man (wish I had a camera).

I need a Gun:
We laughed and swam and played for a while then Grace discovered one of the little boys at the pool had a water gun. She questioned me about this because she had not seen one before. I gave a short explanation designed to create disinterest. Grace responded with “I need a gun, Mommy I need one”. My heart just sank; my sweet princess loving girl wants a gun. I did take comfort when she followed that statement with “I need a pink and purple gun.”
