Heat, Yard Sale and Pools!!
It is sooo hot here. I mean frying bacon
on the pavementhot!! On friday we had a yard
sale at our church and thetemps were 102.
No wonder we hardly had any customers
the people probably didn't want to go out and
who can blame them. It didn't matter much to
me though sincewe took all that junk then to
good will and soo less clutterfor us to deal
with. The heat hereis terrible. Especially since
the one of our air conditioners went out. That
means it is really hot in here. You can't walk to
get a tissue withoutbreaking into a sweat.
We are trying to findways to be cool.The kids
have taken to nappingbecause it is just
so terrible to move in the afternoon.
Yesterday we had our youth pool party/picnic.
Spirit enjoyedhimself . He tired me out
getting in and out of the pool. Since he is in
pull ups each time he got out of the pool I
changed him . This in itself was a tiring
event.Yet we managed for the day to
stay cool At first when the older boys
would splash he would Yell ooohh and hold his
breath with big eyes. By the
end of The evening he was getting water in his
face left and rightand didn't seem to mind one bit.
Superboy enjoyed it too. Heeven was given some
swimming instructions from one of the
youths fathers. He was so excited to show it to
us as he swam and turned his head to take a breath.
Princess was having agreat time. It was
amazing to seeher jump off the diving board
as last year she stoodthere for hour
saying she wanted to butwas afraid. lol It is
so wonderful how they grow and change
and to be able to see that in all they do.
Between Swimming Spirit rode his bike around
with anotherboy . Sometimes scarying me at how
fast he goes. Onedad kept assuring me he
would be ok.I wanted to just rushout and wrap
him in bubble wrap . lol Sometimes it's hard to
let them just be kids and watch
when quit possibly they may get a skinned
knee here and there.
I don't have photos to share of the picnic.
It can be hardto watch a toddler around a pool.
You can't keep your eyes
off him for a second. It was a fun day !!
What were you up to this weekend?
