To Beat the Heat

I must say, for all the heat in Albuquerque, it still doesn't seem so bad compared to last summer when I was very pregnant in all the summer humidity of Georgia. I'm sure this little immunity I've built up will wear off in time, but so far, I'm enjoying it.

But, temperatures in the nineties still warrant some cooling activities. I dug out this blow-up pool that we only recently discovered we still own.

I love being able to send them all outside to play in the pool while I watch a movie and do the dishes where I can still see them through the window. Even better is when Simon is asleep all the way upstairs where no one is at risk of waking him up. A lovely way to spend a summer afternoon.

Having this little pool out does make me think back to last time we used it...

Ben is older now than Audrey Jane was in those pictures...and then he wasn't even born yet. They are so much bigger now! We may want to get a larger pool.
