It was super hot last week. While my neighbors did fun things like go to the beach, we went the easy way out and filled the kiddie pool with a couple inches of cold hose water. When it got really hot we went to the grocery store to cool off in the ridiculously cold AC. The girls were irritable with each other at home but once we got to the store and I gave in to Molly's request to ride in a "cart with cars," they might as well have been at an amusement park. They rode side by side in the plastic car thing in the front of the cart and were the best of friends. Kate gave Molly big baby kisses all the way down the dairy aisle. They got a piece of ham at the deli and bits of banana bread in the bakery. They had so much fun. A woman stopped me to say how delightful these girls are. Rather than mention how Kate bites lately and Molly has a tantrum at least once a day, I just nodded and agreed.
Here they are in a sweet moment in our tiny, weed-filled garden.
We got water balloons during the heat wave but didn't get a chance to use them until Tuesday when Lex and Eve were here and it was barely shorts weather. That didn't stop the kids from having a good time with water.
OK, back to the "to do" list.
