Triple Digits

When temperatures in the 100's are expected play time is usually early in the morning. We already went for a walk this morning, then came in to eat breakfast. I like to go out again before nap time at 11, that way we are out for a good amount of time before the heat gets to my little men. Both of the boys get flushed so quickly. Their white little cheeks turn bright red and their ears too. I try to encourage them to drink a lot of water, but water for a one year old is sometimes like torture! We have a few toys that need to be used with water, and an entire table made for water play. They certainly like these things, but 100+ heat doesn't make much pleasant unless you are completely submerged in water. Tomorrow we have a party in the park to attend, and I am hoping there are many trees around. Sunblock will be our 6th child tomorrow! I am already thinking of all the ways to bring water with us aside from a huge water jug. I am bringing wet washcloths in our cooler and spray bottles. I also like to pack fruit that has water in it like watermelon of course. I do know everyone will still have a fun time, and I don't have to cook, that is always good! Sunday is our water park day, and it couldn't come fast enough. I am thinking the kiddos will play in the hose today and spray the sidewalk rather than the grass. I hope everyone stays cool and has a great day!
