Yesterday ended on one heck of a fun note. Not only did my sister come in town for the night, but Sadie got to try out her brand new kiddie pool!
She had the best time!
We weren’t sure Sadie would even get in her new pool because she’s really funky about the pool at my parents’ house and our new outdoor pool, but apparently a kiddie pool is much more enticing.
She would jump in the pool and lay down to cool off after getting hot from several rounds of fetch.
And yes, Sadie pees in the pool.
Don’t try to pretend like you didn’t when you were her age. 
Dinner
Pool playtime lasted right up until my sister arrived in town from her weekend in Gainesville and it was time for dinner.
We copied our flatbread pizza idea from two weeks ago and made top-your-own flatbread pizzas for dinner using FlatOut flatbreads as the crust.
I went a more traditional route and steered clear of BBQ chicken pizza this time, instead favoring typical pizza toppings including fresh mozzarella, spinach, basil, red onion and portobello mushrooms.
Delish!
We spent the rest of the night sorting through more moving boxes, lounging and eating freshly baked oatmeal cookies.
I made the cookies a lot like my brown sugar wheat germ cookies, but incorporated oats into the batter as well.
Today
Today Ryan and I awoke bright and early to sneak in a workout before the craziness of the day set in.
We headed to the gym and began our workout with 20 minutes on the elliptical before splitting up to complete our separate strength training workouts.
My workout included three sets of 15 repetitions of several different supersets:
- Superset One: Step ups, Front shoulder raises
- Leg extensions
- Superset Two: Deadlifts, Upright row
- Bicep curls
- Superset Three: Chest press, Tricep dips
- Tricep pulldowns
- Superset Four: Exercise ball crunches (50), Overhead press
Breakfast
Once we arrived home from the gym, we (with the help of Sadie) tackled my sister to wake her up for breakfast.
Egg, cheese and jelly bagelwiches for all!
Now it’s time to head out for a family walk with Sadie.
Happy Labor Day, friends!

That pizza looks fantastic! Fresh mozzerella is delicious on anything but paired with basil? Yum!
Love those pics of Sadie! My dog is obsessed with water. We take him to the river, and he’ll just swim in circles for half an hour until we call him out. But he’s really scared of kiddie pools. Seriously?
I think we may be now buying a kiddie pool for our dog. It’s perfect because he doesn’t actually like swimming but more likes running through water. Sounds like a great Labor Day!
We always had a kiddie pool in the backyard for my dogs in the summer time and they LOVED it! Also, my mom made me a pizza on those flatbread crusts and they are delish! I bought some this week 😉
Hahah Sadie is so cute in her little pool! I’m glad she has her own personal one, and you have a pee-free pool of your own 🙂
Just did this workout, Julie! Loved it 🙂 I did some of the moves while balancing on the bosu ball, it really helps me engage my abs and works my leg muscles.
Could you explain how the supersets work?
