A crazy, but fun-filled week!!

The header can say it all! What a week we have had. This past week started out early Monday morning with a trip to St. George with some of my girlfriends from the neighborhood. We left our homes around 8:30am and got to St. George around 1pm. Not too bad with 3 kids in one car and 1 in another. So we get to the house and all we want to do is get in the pool. Sounds like a normal thing to want to do in 85+ degree weather, right? So we head to the pool, everyone is dressed and ready to go swimming! Now one key detail, we had 10 women and 11 kids UNDER the age of 2! Yes that is right! Many very small children in swimmers diapers! So we are in the pool for no more than maybe five minutes and here comes the Grinch of the pool.This old crazy woman starts to go nuts on us. This is how the event occurs:
Grinch Lady: "All those kids in swimmers diapers need to get out of the pool NOW!"
Someone from our group: " Excuse me we have diapers on them?"
Grinch Lady: "We had an HOA meeting and everyone that lives here came and we voted NO KIDS WITH DIAPERS ON IN THE POOL AT ALL. So whoever you are here visiting knows the rules." Well by this point she was getting very heated.
Someone from our group: " Well mam there is no sign posted and our host was never told that rule."
Grinch Lady: " I mean what I said, all kids out now with swimmers diapers on. NO DIAPERS ALLOWED! They must be house-trained." HOUSE TRAINED? What are they dogs?
Someone from our group:" Mam would you like us to take OFF their diapers?"
Grinch Lady: " Well not if they are going to S*#! and P*&% in the pool."
Someone from our group: "Calm down that was uncalled for and you don't need to swear at our children. Now there is no sign up that states no kids with diapers on so we are staying."
Grinch Lady:" We will see about that."

And that was how the first day of the week started! Amazing how that old lady wanted all of our kids out with diapers on when she herself had a diaper on. Depends anyone? C'mon! All and all we had a fun 3 days in St. George with the girls. Maybe some sleepless nights but fun in all! On Wed. morning most of the group heads back home and Crew and myself head to Las Vegas to see my family. My mom came to get us in the morning. That morning wasn't so great, I WAS SICK! I think I got it from one of the kids that was sick there. NOT FUN! We stopped 4 times for me to throw up and go to the bathroom. The worst drive from St.George to Vegas I have ever had. Luckily Crew slept the entire way so we were golden in that aspect. So after we got there we took a nap and it I was starting to feel much better. For the rest of the trip I was back to normal. I was a little sleep deprived, dehydrated, and maybe had too many kids around for comfort!!! You gotta love them! We had fun in Vegas visiting with my family. Nick flew in on Thursday night and we had so much fun! We got to swim with Crew and just sit around! We loved getting to relax in the sun. Crew also passed through another milestone. He ate baby food! I couldn't believe it. He had some sweet potatoes and apples. He just loved it. It kinda made me sad seeing how big he is getting. But he sure is a cute boy! It was also my dad's 49Th birthday on Sunday. So to celebrate we went out on Friday night to the Charcoal Room Steakhouse inside of the Santa Fe Station Hotel and Casino. I have to admit, it is probably the best steakhouse I have ever been to. Better than Ruth's Chris I think. It's a must if you are in Vegas! We sure did have a good weekend with family and friends! We love you all!
Crew in the pool for the first time ever! He was a little fish. He loved being in the water!

Look at those eyes! (and belly!!!!) Gotta love them both!

i know what you mean about the pool nazi!! we have the same problem at the family condo in s.g.
screw um' right? ha ha!!

Ryan said...

I would have taken all the diapers off the kids and left them on the side of the pool when I left. Let the nazi come clean them up.

Sorry, but just reading that made me frustrated.

I am sad I didn't get to spend more time! Did you guys get to go back to the pool? I have found the old people in st. george are usually the pool nazi's!! We had one... they suck! Sounds like you guys had a blast!! Crew is so cute... look at his cheeks!

Oh that chunky monkey! He is so adorable I can't handle it. I can't wait to see him on Sunday. I would have rather cut my foot off than be in the same space with that many women and that many kids. Talk about not worth it! You're a trooper because really, I would've gotten my own hotel room. And your friends were nice to that beasty lady, it would've taken me ALOT to not push her grumpy rear end in the pool!
