summer fun

After playing at the park we went to help Mechelle pick beans at her in-laws. The kids had fun playing on the swing set while Mech and I picked the beans. Hannah and Wynnie were having a great time twisting around in the swing and then letting it go so they twirled REALLY fast! I can remember doing it when I was a kid, but watching them today made me want to throw up!

Wynnie did get hit in the face with the swing and it gave her a big fat lip--ouch! I told her she just matches me now...it was even the same side as my fat lip! (When I was little I was jumping in the leaves with my cousins and I bit my lip off. The doctor sewed it back on but now one side of my lip is bigger...I really hate it!...hopefully Wynnie's isn't permanent!)

hot...Hot...HOT!!!

It has been SO hot lately! I'm not talking a little uncomfortable I may need a drink of water hot I'm talking exert ANY physical effort to do anything (say blink your eyes) and your body is drenched in sweat...it's practically impossible to stay hydrated! I've been downing glasses of water, these are big 32 oz cups, and I just can't seem to get enough...which poses a couple of problems 1) I feel like all I'm doing is drinking water (because basically I am...It's too hot to do anything else) and 2) I'm spending an awful lot of time in the bathroom (flashbacks to being pregnant...which I'm not...first summer I haven't been in what feels like forever and I am still stuck in the bathroom!!!) You would think with all the sweating I'm doing that there wouldn't be any water left to pee out!

Don't get me wrong I love summer...I've been waiting for it all year. I just wish it wasn't this hot! When I got into our car the thermometer said it was 114! Now while I don't actually believe it was 114 and I know that some places DO get this hot (none that I want to visit anytime soon!) I do know one thing...It IS hot!!! Even with all the heat I see pictures like this and I'm reminded why I like summer so much!

It just makes me smile...and of course the smile makes me sweat...I think I need another glass of water :)
