What am I going to do with her?

Any of you know I can only be talking about Katelyn. Yes, usually it is Kelsey that has said or done something, but lately it's been Katelyn. And last Saturday was no exception. We set the morning aside to do some much needed yard work and pool clean up with all the winds that have come our way since December. I was still upstairs, Dave was outside and the girls were running around and chasing each other. The next thing I heard was Katelyn SCREAMING and Dave telling her to hold still. I could only imagine what the next scene would be: Dave carrying a wet, naked, freezing cold little body wrapped in his coat, inside the house. That's right, Katelyn fell in the pool. That makes it at least once for each of them, although I'm sure Kelsey never fell into it when the water was 45 degrees!!!


I ran her upstairs and threw her in a cold bath, warming it up slowly to get her warm again. After getting her back to normal and dressed again, seeing as it was laundry day, there wasn't much of anything warm to chose from, she was right back outside and running around the pool, again. So I ask you again, what am I going to do with her?


We were talking about it after and Dave said she was kicking her legs like crazy to stay afloat and doing a good job. The top of her head never actually went under the water. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with the thick coat she had on or her frantic kicking, but it seems that the swimming lessons over the summer have paid off. Her jacket did however keep her from getting to the side. We were laughing over the whole thing and Katelyn just thought she was going to be in so much trouble for falling in. Kelsey was very concerned and thought she was going to die.


While I am glad he brought her right in to get warm, I do wish I was outside so he could watch her and grab her out while I grabbed the camera. And I wasn't the only one who thought of this too, he was trying to figure out a way to take pictures to document it as well.


She is still apologizing to me, "Sorry I fell in the pool, mom." You gotta love her!! And I am pleased to announce there has been no permanent damage seeing as how she ran right back outside and didn't seem to care if she fell back in the pool or not.
