Yesterday…

Yesterday the weather did this…

0047

It was way too warm, and the littlest ones did this…

0039

Thade enjoyed the quiet and played the playstation.

I finished this,

0017

and read five chapters into this one.

030

So good.

Today we’ve been out once,

0471

It is already miserably hot out, so the kids didn’t want to stay out too long…

We came back in, and I gave this little gal a bath.

0127

Hopefully she’ll stay a bit cooler. The cat has already parked himself in front of an air-conditioning vent, so he is set.

The kids are already grumpy, and really bored with the indoors. Come on rain storm, we need this heat-wave out of here.

On Friday Something Awesome Happened

Last week my Mother in law said that she had a surprise for the kiddos, but she needed our o.k. first. She convinced us both, and on Friday she brought the surprise!

0073

They prepped the ground, and worked way too hard in the Summer sun.

0126

Have you figured out what the surprise is yet?

0163

This might help a little.

It is a Pool!!!!!

The boys were beyond excited, and we were too. The little guys even helped out a bit with the set-up.

0182

James came home from work, and helped out too.

0193

The new pool was ready to be filled by the evening. We finished the rest of the task on Saturday, and had a blast swimming!

0111

I still can’t believe that she did that for us. It is so amazing, and the kids love swimming! So if I don’t get anything done this Summer you know why, I’ll have a pretty decent tan though.

Fun & Free: Bubble Wrap

Oh goodness how I loved bubble wrap when I was a kiddo. My hubby had a delivery at work, and it came wrapped up in a big pile of bubble wrap.

0301

He brought it home to the kiddos. It was hard for me to resist popping all of those bubbles.

032

We thought it would be fun to set up the bubble wrap outside, and let the kiddos jump around.

0351

Dylan also took a ride with it on the swing.

040

They anxiously waited,

042

as Dad set everything up.

0431

Thade was getting really anxious.

051

All set up and ready to jump on.

052

The kids jumped,

053

and ran,

056

and popped as many bubbles as they could.

062

James and I jumped in a few times too.

070

Bubble wrap is super awesome!

078

It was a fun and free outdoor activity for the kiddos.

Another Summer Post

We are well into June, and officially it really is Summer. The kids are already planning activities for the Fourth of July, and I’m planning out the menu. We haven’t been up to too much, but here are a few more photos of how we are spending the Summer break.
