Weekend Project: Setting Up The Pool

imageMy weekend project was supposed to be THIS monstrosity!

What the weekend project ended up being was setting up the pool!  My husband had to work most of the weekend, which left me and the 5 year old to set it all up by ourselves.  We did a mighty fine job of it too, if I do say so myself… and I DO!  We worked together as a team to get the job done.  I had her put the poles and other pieces around the pool in the places where they were supposed to go, so that I’d just move right along and set up each piece without having to take a bag of parts wherever I went, or having to walk back to the place where all the parts were sitting.

Make sure when you give  young children jobs that they are able to actually do the jobs you have assigned them.  She really wanted to help set it up (mainly so that it will get done faster), but there wasn’t much she could do with actually putting it together.  We found the perfect compromise and she was happy, and actually helpful!

Unfortunately, the box o’ weeds is still waiting for me for this weekend.  I hope I survive.  🙂
