Bubbles in the Pool

This was a good day... the kids spent several hours wearing themselves out in the pool. Yesterday it was so hot the kids didn't want to go outside at all... very unusual for us. Hailey cried that the sidewalk was burning her feet....... it wasn't long before she was sobbing about how she was going to melt outside. And then we when inside and ate a dozen popsicles.... no shame there.








Yesterday we made strawberry popsicles. 2 cups berries, 1 cup milk, a dash of honey. Threw them in the Blendtec and into popsicle moulds. The best popsicles moulds I have bought were from the dollar store and Ikea. I like the little popsicle moulds because the kids can eat them before they melt like the normal size moulds. Besides, wouldn't you rather eat four small popsicles than two big ones?




The first sign you have been in the pool too long..... your diaper almost reaches the grass. It wasn't long after this that all clothes were abandoned by the small one.  Just remember if you decide to run around naked outside: reapply your sunscreen or you won't be able to sit down for weeks! I hear wiener burn hurts too!

Hotter than the Sun

The kids love love love to go outside and paint.


Made zucchini boats for dinner. 


My hydrangeas are finally starting to bloom.... only to be picked by my kids moments later.

Third morning out painting.... see I told you they love it.

Our weather has been seriously messed up. It has been in the nineties. Normally we get a hot week or two in Aug/ Sept.... never in May. It roasted and killed my grapefruit tree. So tragic. Clothes are now optional. We have stopped cooking and are living off cold fruit/veggies dips, salads, wraps and homemade popsicles. It's so stinking hot we even unplugged the toaster.

We have been making popsicles with pureed fruit, yogurt and juice.

Evan and I were playing while Hailey was taking a nap. I am a very fun playmate.


He loves to build towers and knock them over. He never gets tired of this.

Life is more fun with a basket on your head, right?
