Hot Summer Days...

This blog has been a little quiet lately...for 2 reasons...first being that we have been spending everyday outside enjoying the summer weather and Jon has been working in town this week...so rather than blog at night we have been enjoying some extra family time! Meanwhile my "to blog" pictures are piling up...
These pictures are from a couple weeks ago...for 2 days we had some super hot weather (like in the very high 90'!!)...put hot weather and kids together and you get lots of fun water play!

The kids were having fun playing with all the bubbles in the little swimming pool...but they needed a mirror to see where to put the bubbles in just the right the places. So my Mom went in the house, took the big mirror off the wall in the dining room and hung it up in the tree! And then she wonders why her house is a "free-for-all"!?

A little Dawn dish soap can make everything a little more fun...a few squirts in the little pool, lots of bubbles...tons of fun!

Bubbly smiles...

My new favorite hair style for Elsie...2 french braids! Love that she is into letting me fix her hair!

When the weather gets hot I guess nothing is quite as good as cooling off by sitting in a bucket of freezing cold water...these two are crazy...

When simply sitting in the bucket is not quite enough...just dump it over your head...

We are lovin' this summer weather...The kids both have major tan lines going on...and perpetual dirt between the toes...2 signs of kids fully embracing summer!
