I always feel a little bit silly posting a bunch of pictures of myself, but I know that I really, really love to see other bloggers come out from behind the camera, and you guys have said you feel the same way.
So, um, here I am.
I took the kids swimming at our neighbor’s house on Friday, and several of them wanted to use my camera.
Mr. B’s pool is sort of shaded, so it’s never very warm. After hemming and hawing for a while, I did decide I was going to get in.
But it took me a while to actually go off the board.
Surely the sun will come out. Maybe?
There was a good deal more of this….
before this.
after which there was this.
But once you’re in, it’s not toooo bad.
This photo is blurry, but it’s making me laugh, so here you go.
Ok, this one is kind of funny too (I’m doing a flip).
The lovely thing about doing a flip into a pool is that you never have to worry about sticking a landing…it can be pretty sloppy without being painful.
I also caught Zoe a whole bunch.
Before you look at this next picture, go take a peek at the one of me jumping into my mom’s arms. (it’ll open in a new window, so you can go look at it and this page will still be here).
Wouldn’t you say she takes after me a little bit?
Staying warm in this pool requires occasional bouts of jumping up and down. Helps the blood to circulate. 😉
Oohkay.
That was enough pictures of me for a while.
I’ll be behind the camera if anyone needs me.

Swimming at a friends house is very frugal and fun!
Looked like a great day, even if it was a little shady!
You're right, it's great to see pictures of bloggers in there surroundings. Someday once I'm in another line of work, I too, would love to show a bit more of me and my family (starting with my name, it bites being anonymous)!
Great pics!

I agree with DawnF... you are definitely a cool mom! I love the photos, and that you shared them! Now I want to go play in the pool!

You're such a cool mom - I hope your kids realize it! :) They may not now, but they will some day. :)
Thanks for sharing your pictures and your stories and... your life!

I like your swimsuit! Of course, I am noticing this because I actually have to go swimsuit shopping this weekend. ugh. But it looks so comfy! Where did you find it?
Isn't it great to have neighbors who share their pool?

I got it at Kohls just a month or so ago. It's by Nike, and you can mix and match whatever you want...there are different top and bottom styles like skirts, shorts, or traditional swimsuit bottoms.
I've had a skirted bottom for the last few years, so I decided to branch out and try shorts this time around.
