Texas Heat

Wow! This summer has been brutal! We have had way too many days of 100 degrees or higher. We are all so done with this summer, but it just keeps on and on and on...enough already! So thanks to the scorching weather outside we have had to stay inside most of the summer. So here are the top 8 things we have done to keep ourselves entertained this summer. In no particular order:

Number 1: Playing with the dogs. And when I say playing, I mean getting in their face, laying on them, pulling their tail, poking at their eyes, laying toys on them, you know...playing!

Number 2: Playing with Noah. And when I say playing, I mean getting in his bed, getting in his face, grabbing his hands, and laying toys on him.

Number 3: Art. Cami loves art. She has gotten extremely good at cutting with scissors, but she also enjoys painting, drawing, and making pictures with a million stickers! Number 4: Playing on the computer. This is a new skill that Cami has learned. She now knows how to use the mouse correctly (thanks to Grammy!) and can play a handful of children's computer games. She's really quite good at them, too! Number 5: Eating watermelon. It just wouldn't be summertime without watermelon around! Number 6: Eating Popsicles. Same can be said about Popsicles!

Molly and Maddie like to enjoy a Popsicle, too, sometimes!

Number 7: Playing dress-up. Oh, the joys of having a little girl. It's so fun to watch her be so girly! She loves to wear pretty dresses, sparkly shoes, fancy bows, make up, nail polish, jewelry, etc, etc!

She's very versatile, though. Not only can she dress as a princess but if you ever need a strawberry glasses wearing doctor, Cami is your girl!

Number 8: Swimming! Thank goodness Grammy and Papaw have a pool! We go over there at least once a week to take a dip in the pool to cool off. This summer Cami has been learning how to swim underwater and jump off the side to an adult. She is a very cautious little girl, so jumping off the side has been quite the challenge, but she's getting there!
