Since the kids and I are home every day together, we have to come up with fun little things to do here at home. For the last 2 weeks on Friday, we have filled the pool up in the morning, gone on a long walk together, and then come home to "swimming" in our kiddie pool. It helps break the monotony of video games, computer time and TV. This week we had some tension because of a dispute over who would carry the water, but it only affected the first mile or so of our walk. (!)
There was also a little tension when we got home when I realized Kathryn had NOT turned the water off to the hose when I asked her to (and she said she had). So water had been running freely from the hose for about 4 hours before we realized it. I'm going to try very hard not to think about what my water bill will be next month. It is outrageous in a normal month, so there is really no telling what this will cost us! Oh well - lesson learned. Kathryn is not quite ready for independence in that respect, and I would benefit from a little bit of checking behind her.
Anyhoo - here a few pics I took Friday. Nothing fancy this summer, I'm afraid, but they don't look like they're suffering!
