Paris and Pinwheels

[mysid]

I just read a rather scathing (but quite funny) comment on Orlando Bloom's performance in Troy. Now I feel compelled to say: Yes, he was a vacuous pretty boy in the film, but he was playing a vacuous pretty boy. Doesn't that mean that he got it right?

As for real life, I invested $1 rather well yesterday. I purchased two sparkly pinwheels. My dividend, the enormous smiles on the faces of my four-year-old twins when they discovered that holding them in the breeze would make them spin. The fascination was short-lived, however. Pinwheels paled in importance compared to the neighbor's inflatable wading pool when we got home (90 degree day).

*sigh* Poor Orlando. He can act, yo. I saw Ned Kelly twice, and dude, he can.

And being upstaged by an inflatable pool is never fun. Did you at least get to jump in with them?

The inflatable pool was much too small for me. But they did squirt me with a water gun yesterday.

There is nothing better than making your kids smile, especially with something so simple. Wading pools rock- my son is also THRILLED with the hose, especially since it has the spray nozzle, and can give him light shower, mist, cone shaped water sprays. The best part is he is too young to know how to hold the hose unlike is 3 year old neighbor who soaks me every time.
