simple summer nights

IMG_0867

Daytime hours are stifling in Texas heat, but the summer nights can be so sweet! Last night after a super hot day, I filled up the baby pool, put the kids in their bathing suits, put on MY bathing suit, and jumped right in. The water was so refreshing and a little outdoor time did us all a load of good! After playing for an hour or so, I went in to make dinner and we decided to eat outside in our bathing suits-nothing better than that! One good thing about Keri being gone during football season is that I can make really random things for dinner and no one notices. (he eats whatever I put in front of him, but he's not a breakfast for dinner person) The kids and I had egg and cheese burritos and fruit and it was delicious!

After dinner we got back in the pool for a while and then the kids headed over to the play set to do some tricks for me.

What an incredible photo (the last one)! I will be printing it for our house! It looks like a professional took it! I guess we moms become pro photographers in a way since we take so many pics of these cute kiddos! All the pics are great and so fun to see the kids enjoying their backyard! I am amazed at how much more grown up they look just since we saw you guys a few weeks ago! I love reading about all the fun things you do with your two cutie pies!
