I miss our pool, we've had some nasty nut grass grow up THROUGH the ground cover and the pool lining. Nasty stuff. So it's emptied and waiting to be patched. Your kids look like they had a blast!Amanda @ mammajoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03244315848123146854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508315520911752306.post-89187096744449264382013-01-27T19:50:05.346+11:002013-01-27T19:50:05.346+11:00When oh when will they stop needing the swimming l...When oh when will they stop needing the swimming lessons?! I tell myself it's when they can each swim 50m non stop and then I'll only make them go to lessons if they love it. Or something like that. The pool is fun, though! xMaxabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761220164069379437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508315520911752306.post-37307979835882064172013-01-26T14:26:05.979+11:002013-01-26T14:26:05.979+11:00Hope some cooler weather comes your way - we got a...Hope some cooler weather comes your way - we got a couple of mid forties days and they are absolute killers - cannot imagine it being that way for weeks on end.

My girls, 7 and 5 had a series of lessons 2 years ago and each one ended in tears. Thankfully last year and this year they've also turned the corner! It's such an important skill to have. Wishing you a cool change in the weather :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471371355860326394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508315520911752306.post-33433418641103480542013-01-25T20:35:26.008+11:002013-01-25T20:35:26.008+11:00I have the same thoughts on swimming as you!
