Now that summer is officially over, we are experiencing summer-like weather! Today's temperature climbed out of the 60's (where we were stuck all summer long!) and into the upper 70's! It felt hot, since it was noticeably warmer than other day in recent memory. So the kids and I embraced the warm weather today and pulled out the Slip 'n Slide! They had so much fun just running up and down the slide, "swimming" in the small pool area at the end, and just feeling the cool water from the sprinklers drip on them. And as I watched from a chair in the shade, I kept thinking about what an absolutely delightful afternoon we were having!
The kids played together really well (I didn't have to play referee at all, which is a record as of lately! I can't remember an afternoon with them both home and there wasn't a squabble!), shared things, took turns...it was remarkable! I even read a chapter in a book as they played!
Shane is "swimming" and pretending to be Buzz at the same time! He's multi-talented!
After slippin' and slidin' (and some play dough time for Faith), both kids asked to do some painting.
We only paint with water at our house...!
This picture is from a few days ago when we went to Big 5, a sporting goods store. There was a giant chair out front that we couldn't resist making into a Kodak moment! The kids love going to Big 5 - it is as exciting for them as a toy store!
