Dandelions; New Playground Equipment; Hot, Hot, Hot

Whew! It's a hot one outside--the last few days we've either broken heat records or come close. We busted out the little blue pool for the kids--Karis and Kinlee love the water. Kolson is a little apprehensive, moreso when the water is freezing cold. Kolson is pulling up on furniture more effortlessly and he starting to understand how to get down--still a little rough on the landing but I'll venture to guess that by the time we leave for Texas he will have it down. Karis is beginning to draw what she sees...the other day she drew her rendition of a dandelion in chalk on the driveway and it was perfect. If you can imagine a yellow sunlike object with a green stem, that's what it ended up being. I'd post a picture if I could but one, I haven't figured out how to post actual pictures yet and two, the drawing met its demise when she was watering plants for Mom. :) Kinlee is two now, and she's not afraid to assert her will on anyone who dares to challenge her. She is quite the talker and comes up with her own version of one-liners. Too funny. Dora is her hero so the kid is all about climbing 'tallest mountain' and the 'Piggie Pirates'

The park near our home is getting new playground equipment today and the girls have spotted some of it as it is being installed. I've tried to explain to them that they wil not be able to play on it for a day or two while the footings set and the pea gravel is finally leveled out. They are chomping at the bit. Thanks to the project committee and their diligence in making sure we have safe equipment for the kids to play on.

    As far as posting a picture goes, it's pretty easy in Blogger. While you're writing your text, look above and there's a toolbar which allows you to insert a pic, video or link.
