HOT!

Goodness gracious - it's been hot here.

Hoo-whee.

The worst appears to be over, and we have somehow survived.

Did I mention we don't have air conditioning? No, not even a window unit or two.

What did we do with ourselves?

Well we spent a lot of time in a less-than-usual amount of clothing.



We ran through sprinklers (even the grown-ups). And splashed around in our wee kiddie pool.

And we were extremely fortunate to be invited to a beloved friends surprise birthday party (Everyone say,
"Happy Birthday, Amy!")

Why so fortunate?

She has a pool. 


So we spent a blissful Saturday afternoon splashing, celebrating, and generally making-merry.

The boys had their first taste of tootsie rolls, thanks to a pinata.

This is a towel with a hole cut in the middle where a hood is attached.
Absolute genius. From Lands End

The Wee One likes him some tootsie roll.

The jury's still out for the Big Boy.

"What is dis?" he kept saying - as if he was
unsure this odd item was actually food. 

What did you do with your weekend?

PS - my birthday is Friday. 


Just sayin'.

  2. We just put an a/c unit in our bedroom - I need relief at night to sleep! The rest of our house is not air conditioned. I don't really like a/c - I don't like the feeling of having the house all closed up. I love the photo of you guys hanging out in diapers reading!

  4. Oh man, just the thought of trying to make it through the summer without a/c makes me sweat! I just got back from a trip home to PA to visit family and Sammy spent about 99% of his time just running around in a a diaper--it was so muggy that the a/c didn't really make all that much of a difference.

  5. I have lived in areas of the U.S. that do not necessarily require A.C., but I find in those areas you really need a good heater because of the brutal winters. Here in Texas, you need an AWESOME A.C., but the winters are mild with only a few snow days. Its what I like. I have done it both ways, and I prefer the heat to excess cold/snow. One of the things we do sometimes, is get under a dampened sheet with a fan blowing on you. It is so cooling!
