exhaustion

After the week in Florida, we basically stayed indoors all weekend, sleeping and recuperating.
Now we have rediscovered the Double D pool and have been going daily. But this year we don't have the running stroller, so the youthful ones are quite exhausted every day. Which wouldn't be so bad if it didn't lead to interminable bickering.
Child A whines and Child B whines about the whining, whereupon Child A chooses between anger and increased whining - usually a mixture of the two.
And yet we have fun.
Some of the pool workers have recognized us from last year and have wondered where we've been, to which I could only say, "The pool was closed for the winter and we hadn't made any dates, so..."
