What a gorgeous day we just had. The weather was supposed to be so hot, so we planned to have some friends over to play in the kiddie pool. It ended up being perfect; warm, but not hot. The kids had a blast in the pool and running around our NEWLY FENCED YARD (YAY!!!) and the adults had a great time enjoying the warm fresh air and some great summer fruits and salads. Perfect. After that we had naps (except Sydney decided she was not tired and stubbornly refused to sleep). When the kiddos woke up, it started to rain, but it was still lovely and warm! We of course ran outside to enjoy it. Being from Idaho, I am used to very infrequent rain storms accompanied by freezing temperatures, so I love our warm rain storms out here! Last year Sydney loved puddle jumping, so this year it was time to introduce Mady to it.
She loved it and has so much fun. Sydney remembered exactly what to do and enjoyed her new rubber boots and rain coat.
They had so much fun jumping, kicking, splashing, sending off leaf "boats," and throwing rocks in the puddles.
I love seizing the moment to play with my girls!
Then we had baths in the sink! (This is a new tradition we've started if the girls are having baths at night. It reduces the amount of bath water they drink and therefore makes it more likely that their sheets will be dry in the morning). The girls think it's so fun. Sydney calls them "little showers."
My baby girl has started posing for the camera and saying "cheese!" when we pull it out. So darn cute.
Such a perfectly beautiful day. I love being home with these babies.
