June… school came to a close and summer began. The last few weeks of school I was all over the place. I had daycare sessions, flag practice, school awards ceremonies, dentist appointments, car appointments and a whole lot more. It’s like I waited until the end of the school year to get everything done. Oops…
But alas, no more alarm clocks. Except for my internal one that keeps getting me up at 6:15 am. No more homework and no more lunches to be made. I mean I still feed my kids lunch, but no more lunch bags. You know what I mean!
The weather has been amazing. Sunny and warm… no, sunny and hot. Hot for us PNW peeps that is. It’s the high 60’s and we are toasty. Get in the 70’s and we are hot. Hit those 80’s and we are melting. For me, the sun and heat are not very nice to my skin. As most of you know I have a sun allergy. Although sunscreen helps, the heat itself will make me swell and break out. I have to make sure I stay as cool as possible. There is no air conditioner in my house, so I rely on water and darkness. We have had a breeze which helps so much.
I’ve been watering my yard so it stays pretty and green. Have to do it in the evening of course when the sun is going down. We have veggies and fruits growing in the back, so I’m out there watering daily. Tonight my youngest decided to help me set up sprinklers and then she decided to let the water hit her a little bit. Then a little more. Next thing I knew she was soaked. She was having fun so I went inside the house to get my camera. At that time she recruited one of her brothers. Sure enough he joined in. He had his jacket and shoes on. No holding back… they were having a blast. Bathing suits? Who needs them!?
My neighbors driving by probably thought I was crazy or maybe they smiled watching them being silly. Or maybe they laughed as I ducked from water as I took pictures of them. Either way, we all had fun. The smiles on their faces were worth the trails of water in the house. Here’s some pictures from this evening. Already have a few chosen to print.
Can’t wait for July to come. Holiday, birthday and more summer fun. 🙂
