Well, it seems like everyone I know is packing in the fun before summer is over. But not us. We've just been taking it easy and avoiding the sunburns. Still plenty of summer left to get some fun in before the snow takes over, right? I guess in Utah that means I have about 2 more weeks. Anyways, this is what happens in our house when we are too lazy to go do anything exciting.
One of these things is not like the others...
Jack likes to play hide-and-go-seek in his toy box lately. He throws out the extra toys until there is enough room for him in there. I guess he thinks I won't notice him. It's funny the way his little mind works.
What do you think of Eve's new hair?
OK, it's actually just the effects of the way my kids like to keep cool.
Summer is hot- but not in front of our swamp cooler. It is pretty powerful and makes for some nice hair for anyone who gets too close. It's set up behind our washing machine so the kids can just sit on the washer and enjoy the breeze. When we can't go swimming, this makes the heat bearable.
This is Eve's "I'm so cold!" face
Still trapped!
Unlike many of my friends who are moving their 18 month olds into big kid beds, I am not quite ready to give my little guy that much freedom. No one would be getting any sleep if I did that now. Either he would be constantly climbing into my bed at night or getting into trouble around the house. As long as he can't escape or doesn't get hurt trying to, he can just stay in a crib until he's 5... or it's time for another baby to take over.
Ya know, either/or.
We haven't done too many really exciting things this summer either. I try and stay out of the heat as much as I can. Your kids have the right idea. I don't have a swamp cooler to sit in front of but I have sat on the vent a few times to cool off.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to keep Kaden in his crib longer we had to move him to a bed when he was 10 mo's old because he was climbing out. Be grateful you don't have a climber.
