We've been hit by a major heat wave the past couple of days and things are finally beginning to feel like summer around here. We seriously went from sixty degree weather to the nineties overnight--hello, August! It was even so hot today that the kids were dismissed early from school and will be again tomorrow. They don't have air-conditioning up at the school and on a day like today the classrooms turn into saunas--it's pretty bad. But you won't hear any of us complaining. We love summer when the kids are home and the play moves outdoors and we're not so cramped up inside and we've got nowhere to be and all-day pajama parties are totally in and there is no homework to be done. Anyway, thanks to the balmy temperatures we've enjoyed dragging out the kiddie pool and the water cannons and soaking up the sun at the Lake and I think all of us are more excited than ever for school to be over with and for the fun of summer vacation to begin. Only six days of school left. Hurray!
We had the McCurdy's over for dinner Sunday and the boys had a blast, blasting each other with the water cannons and dumping buckets of water on their heads.
Noah is in unusually good spirits with the high temps and made sure we all knew that Saturday was "the best day he'd had outside in a really long time." He's lovin' the water and the sun more than candy.
The babies played hard at the Lake until the last 15 minutes before we had to leave, when they happily sat down in the shade and ate some yogurt. I've never seen such a big, sticky, sandy, more adorable mess in all my years.
Those boys are going to have amazing childhood memories, Shana. You make life so fun. You should totally run a summer camp for little boys. I'll send Sam? How's next week?
I love the summertime too. You really are the best mom I know, in the whole world!!! Any kid would love to be in your family... do you want 3 more? Hey, what's 3 more in your family? They are small and wouldn't take up much space... but you might not be able to deal with the tween-girl drama from Caroline right now... I am just all "kidded" out.
