Tryin' to beat the heat

As anyone in Southern Alberta knows, it has been smokin' hot around here! We are so blessed to have air conditioning, however the kids have been getting a little stir crazy from staying indoors. Last Sunday, we blew up the baby pool, put on the sprinkler and played outside. Doug and I bought Nola a Dora sprinkler from Value Village a few months ago, and we were excited to turn it on for her. She was so excited when she saw it, but once she realized it was attached to the hose, she freaked out! So, we took off the Dora sprinkler, put on the regular sprinkler and she played in the water with the Dora sprinkler. She was so cute :)

As for Robbie, we weren't too sure how he'd like the pool. Nola wasn't a big fan when she was his age, so maybe he wouldn't be either. Yeah right! We put him down onto the lawn and he crawled right into the pool! He then sat in the water and played darn near the whole time we were outside. He was as happy as a clam.

I love days like these. They are so simple and fun. I am one lucky woman :)
