Eve built a campfire last night... you know, it was a brisk 99 degrees out.
I had so much fun watching the kids play last night at the park. They had no toys, and it was too windy to play on the playground for long. I love it when they are put into situations like this because they are forced to use their imaginations.
And, oh, they did. We had sand castles, and pet rocks, campfires, and many, many games of tag. They chased the birds, and checked out a mole hole, then creating elaborate stories about the resident of the hole. It was fun!
But tonight... There WILL be swimming. It will be the fourth night in a row that we've taken the kids to the pool - we were thwarted three times, but there will not be a fourth.

we have yet to go swimming- it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to go without jim, and there are so many things around the city for us to check out, we haven't done the pool yet. oh, and it isn't 99 degrees here, yet, either, which would probably motivate me...
be my neighbor ANY time!

She looks so lonely and sad in that picture. I want Abriella to be next to her building that fire :)
Oh, & I just looked on your sidebar, your off to bake apple pies, chicken, and biscutes? You don't stop girl. But then, I know how that is :)
I hope they get to swim tonight. I wish I could swim myself. The heat and humidity here in Louisiana is UNBEARABLE!
go get em at the pool tonight!good luck!
I love watching them use their imagination and just simply explore. Althought to little ones exploring is never simple! Now I get how you rediscover things thru your children.
Maybe she heard the "hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk" adage. It's not that hot here. I don't know that I could manage!
It's only been 92 here. Swimming is nice. We are going to the pool tomorrow and Sunday, I cannot wait.
