What We Do When it's Hot Outside

Back to PV after summer in Minocqua and once again we have to adjust ourselves to the intense heat and humidity. I always feel a little guilty about not posting too many summer in PV pics, but to be honest, the kids are constantly running around in underwear (and I would be if I could), and I'm just not sure if posting those pics are apropo! Anyway, I dug up a few photos that show us in the everyday heat. Enjoy (and try not to notice the lack of clothes!)

There are dance parties:





There are sprinkler parties:


We try to occupy ourselves by playing in the shadiest and coolest spaces:


We try very hard to make each other laugh despite the heat (by putting the defenseless one in a box):


Now that it is November, these photos seem cute, but I feel confident that in about seven months, I'll be ranting again - something like this.

Hurricane Jake

It appears that a hurricane hit our house last week. Toys, blankets, coasters, dolls - too many items to mention, really - were left strewn down the hallway and across the living room floor. And at the end of the trail of debris, we were left with one very exhausted nine-month-old.
