super cool mom moment.

I wish that I could have one of these "Super Cool Mom Moments" every day. I try, but don't always succeed...today was definitely a success. I ordered a double slip 'n' slide on Monday night out of boredom from none other than CSN stores. I didn't tell Van it was coming, and what do you know it shipped out quickly...and we got it this morning.

She was super pumped that we took it directly out of the box, and set it up in the backyard to play.
Van had never been on a slip 'n' slide, so what do I do...show her how to, of course. I was not thinking about...

A. I am far to old to be running and sliding down a slip 'n' slide.
B. I'M NURSING...sliding on said slip 'n' slide almost killed me.
C. The water even on a hot day is not warm enough.
D. If you are not going to heed my warnings...you will too destroy your knees going down like this...Good thing Van got the hang of things quickly...
This is what summer is ALL about...

another hint - while putting baby oil on it may seem like a great way to make your child slip and slide a little more - be careful that you double up on sunscreen or you'll get burned.
You do smell nice after though :)

You are my hero! I so wish I didn't have this baby bump so I could slide down with you.

we were never allowed to have a slip-n-slide as children... so I am totally jealous! looks like fun... way to be an awesome mom! (now if only you could figure out how to make the water warm!)
