going swimming

This morning I wasn't feeling well, so the girls were sweet and went to play in their room to give me time to rest. Things didn't go smoothly at first, but after a few threats reminders, they actually played nicely together for the rest of the morning. I had no idea what they were doing, but they were quiet, having fun, and I was able to lay down. I'd see them come out of their room occasionally to get some toys, then head back while mumbling something about a swimming pool. Right before lunchtime, they came to invite me to see the pool they had made. They had taken every stuffed animal from around the house and created a "swimming pool" which they had taken turns swimming in. There was some major clean-up involved before naptime, but it was well worth it. They definitely redeemed themselves after yesterday's shopping fiasco!
