I Blew It!

When you're a stay-at-home mom, you have the luxury of setting your own pace. No bosses to seek for approval. No schedules to follow. No agendas to adhere to. (Well, for the most part.) Yesterday was one of those days that we could do as we pleased. So, what did I do? I blew it! It's true. Find out how @ Five Moms and a Blog.

Every breath I took was for the sake of this little guy's happiness.

It was worth every huff and puff!

Most moms have an obsession of photographing their families that they rarely are ever seen coming out from behind the camera. That's why Carin @
Forever in Blue Jeans created a new challenge for all blogging mamas. It's called 52 Weeks. Every week moms will be stepping away from their cameras and sharing the spotlights with their loved
ones. Looking through my photos, I discovered that it's so true. I'm missing in action in most of the shots. And really it doesn't bother me one bit. Well......maybe just a little. I would have to say that when I look at pictures of me growing up, my favorites aren't the ones of me alone. They're the ones that capture me with my family, especially my parents. So, I'm excepting the challenge.

looks like he enjoyed and that makes all the energy worth while (in a mom's eyes anyway)

Tracey said...

He is so beautiful!

Amy - AKA - TigerMommie said...

Looks like so much fun!
If only we could get rid of all of this cold and rain!

He & Me + 3 said...

He looks like he is thrilled with his new pool. So sweet. I love that picture of you two. You are so cute!

E @ Scottsville said...

Yay for Mommy!!!!

I'm so glad you took pictures. The pool looks awesome. And it couldn't be more perfect size for someone his size! Besides, if it were any bigger, your hubs would've gotten home to find his wife passed out cold!!!

Great job --- even if I now think you're INSANE! =0)

Now, I could sink myself into that bad boy right now! I woke up to INSANE thunderstorms this morning!

Love his swimsuit and the pic of both of you...adorable!

Girl have you ever heard of a pump??? I blew up a beach ball sprinkler toy and that took me an hour of breaks. I can imagine you turning blue on the lawn to get that thing done! These are the things we can hold over their heads when they get older though!! That and childbirth!

Carrie said...

That is so precious! Totally worth it! I hope you were able to get in and catch your breath! Whew! What a little cutie he is...you are the best mom!

Darcie said...

I still can not believe it...you are amazing!

What a sweet picture you got out of all your hard work though!

momstheword said...

You know, that makes me want to get one of those, just to sit in it and cool off.

I wonder what the dogs would think of it? Dog hair would be like "eeeeeew, gross" if they got in it.

Robyn said...

What a wonderful Monny you are and great pictures!

Stephanie said...

McCrakensx4 said...

You are such a great mom! That is a HUGE pool! Did you need a nap when you were done?! :)

Mikki said...

What a dedicated mama you are.. I would have opted for taking it to the local gas station!
You go girl!!

christy rose said...

That is a great picture of you two!

Kat said...

I would have passed out if I tried to blow up a whole pool. What a good mom you are. And I bet you had as much fun as him. Am I right???

Carey-Life in the Carpool Lane said...

Mamí♥Picture said...

Great pictures of summer fun. I love the colors of the water and the pool and toys.

Mocha Momma said...

I can't believe you blew up the swimming pool for 3 hours. What a mom!!

There aren't many pictures of me when I was a baby either. I was the 3rd. I gave my folks grief about that for years.

This fueled my sister's story that I was adopted. Now why wouldn't my parents tell me if I was adopted? My brother knew he was. I was so gullable & my sis loved that.

Have fun with your cute little guy.

Jessica D. said...

so tell me? How do you keep a pool that size clean? Does it come with a cover? How often do you refill it?

Glad you had fun and the most best part! Your son enjoyed it just as much. fun memories.
