The things we do to stay cool...

After a few weeks of triple-digit temperatures, I can easily say that I am ready for Fall. Two things I love most are summertime and being outdoors but with two babies and this heat it is nearly impossible to do anything outside. Thank goodness for our pool - that is about the only thing we can do outside these days.

While we are inside we get creative on how to keep the kiddos entertained. One evening last week we let the kids dress up in costumes and play. Last year I got Morgan a bumble bee costume for Halloween and she refused to wear it. Maybe I could talk her into wearing it this Halloween?? She has already told me a few different things we wants to dress up as this year, so who knows what she will be??

Here is our Silly Bee!





My sister gave me Colton's Halloween costume incase Graham wanted to use it this year. I think there is more to this costume but I didn't get it all out. He won't be able to wear this warm cozy costume unless it's a cold Halloween. It did work great for our dress up night, though.

Here is our little Monkey.





Here's to hoping Fall will come soon so we can get back to the park, zoo and all the other fun outdoor activities that we have been avoiding this summer.

Haircut #4

We went to one of Morgan's favorite places on Monday...Sweet & Sassy to get a haircut. Morgan was wonderful for Ms. Tiffany. She sat completely still while Ms. Tiffany cut her hair, blowed it dry and curled it. Then Ms. Tiffany sprayed glitter in her hair and put two pink glitter stars on her check. Morgan loved all the sparkle!! Morgan then picked out a lollipop on her way to play on the runway. Morgan LOVES this place and has already asked a couple times since Monday if we can go get her haircut again.

Being a big girl...

An inch shorter but still has a lot of hair...

Back to the Hawaiian Falls...

After her first waterpark experience I am just happy that she wanted to go back. She had been asking for a couple weeks if we could go to the waterpark so Bryan and I took her last week. It was so great to have Bryan with us this time. He was a big help to me and of course, Morgan had a ball with him there. We played in the sprinklers and wave pool the majority of the time. Bryan slipped away a few time to ride the Torpedo. :) Morgan didn't want to go back down the slide where she fell last time but I don't blame her. No accidents this time - just a ton of fun.
