Keeping Cool

Poor Drew was desperate for some relief this weekend with the temperatures reaching the 90's on Sunday! He wouldn't nap again, which is becoming a tragic trend. This time was likely due to the heat. We probably could've turned on the AC, but I guess we were trying to save a buck in this economy.

After Mommy's blissful 2-hour nap, we came up with a winning idea. Bring the pool outside and let the kid go to town. As you can see it was a big hit for the little boy who no longer has red cheeks from the blistering temps.

Drew loved taking his balls and watching the water drip off of them, splashing himself in the face, and then throwing every ball out of the pool. The best part was waiting for Mommy or Daddy to toss the balls back - making a large splash.

It's supposed to be warm for a few days, so the little pool may get plenty of use over the next few days. Now if only we could work on those naps...
