I bought the girls a kiddie pool the other day to help us all stay cool in the scorching heat. (100 degrees here for, like, 4 days in a row! Ugh!) We've all enjoyed soaking in the freezing cold hose water, even Sweet P. Yesterday, after we all had a dip, we had a snack picnic on the porch while our skins dried under the ceiling fan. Then Bean went outside to "chalk."
I shucked off my wet suit, wrapped myself up in a beach towel, and nursed Sweet P, who drowsed off in my arms in the rare peace. I laid her next to me to finish her nap.
Peace while the kids are awake is seldom seen around here, so it was an especially sweet afternoon that I want to remember.

I wish summer would come and stay here. I'm jealous of your summer fun!
Sounds nice. I bet if I threatened to take off my bathing suit my kids would run away and I would have peace and quiet.
Wow! I love that patio! Very pretty and nice, and I wish I had a porch like that, too!
Aw, that sounds just fabulous. The water restrictions on my side of the city line mean we cannot fill wading pools. I don't know how I'm going to tell the Kraken.
I hope to be sipping something cold on that porch very soon! and Sweet P!!! Aren't sleeping babies the best? and your back yard where bean is "chalking"!!!! WOW!!!! I need you to come and make mine look like that!!!
what a great day you had...nothing better than cold water from the hose on a hot day!
Your patio and yard are... FREAKIN' AWESOME!! I want to come over. Enjoy the peace when you get it.
