surviving the heat: jumping puddles + dancing in the sprinklers

it is hot in so. cal. the kind of hot that makes you just want to do nothing. that is how i pretty much felt yesterday and today for that matter. but, those of you with kiddo's know that when you sit around and do nothing it's almost worse than if you go out and do something. isn't it weird how your kiddo's can find something to whine or complain about even when they are doing nothing? i have to admit, even though my kiddo's have their moments, for the most part they are pretty good at entertaining themselves. okay, anyway back to doing nothing turned into watering the front yard, which meant sprinkler play for the kiddo's. they had such a good time and besides taking pictures of them having a good time, i got to do nothing. it was fun just to watch how different the two of them are. this is how it went...

the little fella found this sprinkler and stepped on it.

then he stepped off and got sprayed with water.

so, he stepped on it again, and off again and on again for a long time. until...

he found this puddle and thought it would be fun to splash around in.

he did this for awhile and thought it was so entertaining.

meanwhile, the little miss was choreographing a dance that went something like this...



she danced pretty much the whole time. i've come to this conclusion, the little fella is totally cause and effect minded. my girl is all about creating and dancing. i don't know, that's just what i think for now. it may change later. hope you are staying cool in this hot so. cal weather.
