scenes of a heat wave.

Summer has officially begun at our house regardless if school is still in session. The minute the sun greeted herself with a heat wave this past week Chelsea asked if she could go down to the basement to grab the little blue pool. Noah was just as thrilled to get it as she was, and he was anxious to get in. Last year he wasn't too fond about going in too much. Now, that he's older he'll go straight to the water hose to fill it up, and after the pool is filled to capacity with water he'll jump right in.

He'll have control of the hose until he starts getting too cold, and then he'll want to sit in the water. Since our backyard is small I can hear everything from inside the house. I can hear Noah laughing while Chelsea is teasing him to splash her with the water hose. I can't help but to go outside to vine their moment, and enjoy the sounds of their giggles, and screams.  

These two seem to get along better when they are outdoors, or doing something productive in the house. They love playing in the park together, playing in the pool, going for a walk, and when we go to the shore, but when she practices piano, does her homework, or sits next to dad while reading a book he'll start picking on her. Yep...I'd say he wants her undivided attention, and instead of reciprocating it she gets annoyed & tells him to leave her alone. 

I have to nip things to the bud with these two, but overall they play well together. I'm sure that when they get older they are going to laugh about all these posts I wrote about them, and become the best of friends! 

I'm so happy that summer is pretty much here to stay for the next few months so that these two can release a lot of energy outside. 

Summer, we have so much to do together with these kids, and we are so glad you've arrived a couple of weeks early. Bring on the heat, and everything that comes with it.

We are ready!
