It is hot! I am talking really hot, so hot that I have a hard time staying outside for more than a few minutes which doesn't make for two happy toddlers who are screaming to go out and play. It was at least 100 degrees here today but it doesn't seem to bother the kids nearly as much as it does us older folk. Lily has been digging in the dirt by our swing set all week so today we thought it might be nice to get her an actual sand box.
We got home a little after noon and she sat in there and played until 2:45. Did I mention it was 100 degrees out? She didn't care. Hannah also enjoyed playing in the sand box and she held out a whole 20 minutes before she tried her first mouthful of sand. She didn't seem to enjoy it so I'm hoping she won't try it again.
I did manage to convince Lily to come up to the deck for a little ice cream break. I made some chocolate ice cream on Saturday and she was happy to do a taste test for me.
Even Hannah who is normally not a big fan of sweets got in on the ice cream action.
Notice the red faces, this is just from the heat not sun burn, and they did have shirts on while playing but I took them off for the ice cream.....good thing too because they both had a river of chocolate from upper lip to belly button by the time they finished.
