Best $10 ever spent

Last summer we threw a wicked awesome 4th of July party and I purchased a number of water-themed fun items at Big Lots. None has come in more handy than the $10 pool. It survived not only the party with half a dozen kids getting in and out of it, but it lived through the winter in Tres' shed and has reemerged as my favorite toy in the world.

Ahem, I mean Virginia's favorite toy in the world.

Heat be gone. To quote V:

This IS the life.
