Here it is, almost the end of August and it’s just now starting to get hot in SoCal.  Odd?  I think so.  I mean, it’s been comfortably warm with a few hotter days but the real summer heat has just started.  Now the creativity has to start… what to do with the kids when it’s roasting outside.  What do you do for your summer activities?  We really like the more simple things such as dragging out the molded plastic pool and getting wet.  But I’m always up for something else that’s cheap and fun.  This weekend was no different.  The pool was dragged out and I was splashed by my happy kiddos… until I had to tell them I was done being splashed.    I’m perfectly happy watching the crazies playing in the water while lounging in a chair in the shade… dry.

As a reminder, I really do have 3 kids… Tony still avoids the camera 99% of the time.  But I will get some photos of him someday… while he’s still 6.
