Feels like walking through water out there.
Thank goodness the air is on and working!

103 degrees

My metro area was hotter than your metro area... 103 degrees.
Crazy.
I heard from a few sources that it hasn't been this hot since 1988.

The kids had a wonderful time playing outside with water this evening.
I filled their tub toys basket and then added ice to it. It was cold, maybe even a little too cold to feel good until the wind came up and cooled my skin.

Hope the rest of the summer is hot but not this hot!
I love getting out the sprinkler but not when your clothes dry before you have run through again.

Happy June in MN! Where it is 103 one day and 60 by the weekend. Ugh.

Water Play 2011

Amazing.

102 degree fun

Making dolls

Remember these?

Having kids does make me feel young again - especially when we do fun stuff like this!

Beautiful Spring Day

Siblings

When MD and I finally decided to have some chillens - I always knew that I would want two of those little people in my life. One just seemed unfair. Who would one talk to when Mom and Dad weren't being fair? Who would really understand the hardship except a number two?
So we had two. And two it will remain. Though certain people, who will remain nameless, continue to hope for #3. I do not want to be outnumbered.

Two are just so cute!

Amazing Storm

Tonight we had a storm without much thunder and lightning but rain and marble-sized hail.
Of course it happened right at bedtime so the kids wanted to come out and play in the rain with Mom as I took pictures.
We thought this cloud was pretty cool.
