....it's not A MILLION DEGREES outside and you can actually get outside and have some fun!! And then on those million degree days it's nice to have a covered porch to bring your outside fun into the shade, or simply an air conditioned home where we can play comfortably inside!!!
For those of you not in VA right now, we have been experiencing a crazy heat wave for about the last 2 weeks! But over the last 2 days it has actually cooled down quite a bit!! And when I say cooled down, I mean that it is 90 degrees outside instead of 109!! And believe it or not that makes ALL the difference:)
So over these last few weeks we have been doing everything we can to not burn up and not go stir crazy in the house either! And sometimes I even remembered to bring the camera along:)
We have been reading a lot, watching a few movies, doing lots of school time and art time and of course play time all together! And just recently Dooders reminded us about a GREAT idea, bringing our kiddie pool to our covered porch and letting the kiddos swim in it!! And it has worked out WONDERFULLY!! We are ALL enjoying that too:) Anyway, such is life in July in Charlottesville, VA! We are surviving it and doing our best to enjoy the journey!!
Good Times, well....Mostly:)
Ethan is still a little unsettled with all of this sibling play time:)
Kisses make it all better!
Emily was being such a GREAT big helper and feeding Ethan while I was cleaning up a little after dinner!
Porch Pool Time!
And Putting the Slide, Table and Chairs in the Pool was a DOUBLE BONUS!
Ethan, surviving his FIRST July in Charlottesville!
We don't have an official "water table" so the girls made their own!
And it brought on some GOOD TIMES!
And then there was the slide, that also brought on some fun times!
Emily, just chillin' in the pool!
Another activity that we have been enjoying are Picnics on the Porch!!
Bring out the blankets, the kiddos, the food and it's a Good Time!
Cheese!
Ha! Great Shot!!
And then there were the FLIES and the Secada Killers! They made for a short picnic on the porch today, that is for sure!
Ethan and Haley were definitely side tracked by the insect infestation, but Emily was just as excited as ever to be outside!

Emily "No, I really want to" and then she puts the chair in the pool... Haha!
And, is Ethan already getting to big for the Bumbo? In some of those pics it looks like his legs don't fit.
