June 20, 2012 - First Day of Summer

Today is the first day of summer, and it is a scorcher.  I think it is going to feel like it is 48 degress or something.  But really anything over 33 degrees is hot, so this is just torture.  I told the Girl she couldn't go in the pool this morning because it was too hot outside for the Baby and he's not liking the pool!  He screams when we put him in, I think the water is just too cold for him.

The Baby had a good nap this afternoon in his crib, however it was too hot (even in the house with air conditioning) to do anything much. 

After school, I made the kids clean up the family room because the Baby had been putting little toys in his mouth all day, and when I had to remove the third one, it was the last straw.  The new rule in the family room, is nothing that will fit into a toilet paper roll tube is allowed in the room.  They were a little upset about this, but they can play in the basement, they just don't want to for some reason.

I wouldn't let the kids go outside in the pool because it was too hot for me and the Baby to sit outside.  Instead they put on a fashion show, the photo above of the Boy as Tinkerbell was the grand finale of the show. 

After dinner I went in the pool for the first time this year.  With all the warm weather we've been having the pool tempearture was up to 84 degrees last night.  I was joined in the pool by the Boy and had some one-on-one time with him.  The Girl came later (after she tidied her room).
