A Pool Day is a Good Day


Photo-A-Day #2994

Our last day before heading home from Florida and we took it easy. We hung around the house for the morning and had a big breakfast. Got the kids all slathered with sunblock and headed over to the pool to have a fun afternoon in the water. Both Eva and Andrew had a great time playing, swimming and jumping. We had pool noodles and squirt guns and goggles. It was a fun afternoon.

Andrew was getting tired so I headed back early to put him down for a nap. He was napping great until UPS showed up and banged on the door loudly three times, rang the bell and shouted. Andrew woke up right after that.

This is the third night in a row that I’ve been up at 3-3:30am trying to get him back to sleep. He can get back to sleep with a little work. Me though, once I’m up, I’m up. 3am or 6am, it doesn’t matter. So, I might as well get some work done. Thing is, I can’t go turning lights on all over the house because that would wake people up and I can’t see my keyboard on my laptop from just the ambient light off of the screen. That is where I thought the night mode of the Energizer Headlight would help me best. If I’m going to run all night like the Energizer Bunny (@EnergizerBunny) I had better be able to see.
