They neighbor's' stuff...
But it's so hard not to.... It's 100* here and will be for another 900 days or so!!! We NEED a pool!!! We WANT a pool!!!! The girls like to remind us that we had a pool at our 'old' house, and that we've been bitterly punishing them for the past 6 years, by living in Texas heat without a pool - It's really a quite pitiful and valid argument, in my eyes? (too bad I'm not the final say on this stuff.)
Hmmm... I wonder how much begging and pleading this would take on my part, before hubby would consider? I'm not picky - I would be more than happy with this set-up, as well. 
OH heck... a large puddle of water at the end of a slip-n-slide would even be good, at this point! LOL And more within our budget!
** Now back to reality*** The garden sprinkler is calling my name. Maybe I can splash around in that when I get off of work today. Oh yes, you know you are coveting my garden sprinkler... :)

As a fellow Texan, I soooo hear ya! Whew. It's hot. And that's just fact. Having already hit 100 degrees this year makes me very, very scared. We have an indoor pool about 2 miles away and I think we will be there often this year. My son's birthday, in 2 1/2 weeks, will be a swimming party in our backyard in his huge blowup pool!
I have meant to tell you. My Dad is a graduate of SHSU and my husband is looking at their program for his masters this next year. He's going to go there if accepted.
hmmm...got the dang pool, just a round stick out of the ground one (a big people one), and NO WARM WEATHER TO USE IT!!!
I love you Amy, but having trouble summoning up the pity at the moment, just dreaming of walking on squishy TX asphalt on a sunny summer day!
ROFL>... Oh Kris... you are so right - I wouldn't dare trade weather with you....
And yes, you have to experience the squishy asphalt to appreciate it! LOL
Not to sound too nerdy or anything, but that squishy asphalt is a little peek into my head :-) It is one of my most vivid memories of my first trip to TX, and I can't tell you how PLEASED I am when I get somewhere that it squishes!!!
