We have some friends with a little boy and girl just about the same age as ours who have agreed to a one Friday a month date night swap. We got to go first - so we tried out a new frozen yogurt place in town this last Friday. I got pistachio and cheesecake swirl. So yummy! Daniel got all kinds of nonsense mixed together. I'm not sure what you call it, but it he liked it! We are looking forward to many more great dates!
We've been doing our best to keep the kids busy since we've been home - having friends over, going to the pool, shopping with mom, playing with all the new dirt cheap school supplies we got, visiting daddy at work - to help them adjust back to life in AZ. We have found that boredom breeds naughtiness around here. And since we've been keeping so busy, there has been very little naughtiness - sigh of relief. However, there has also been very little mommy time, for things like keeping up the blog. So it will probably have to stay on the back burner, at least until the weather allows for herding the kids into the backyard to play! :)
The boys have been keeping the trees and yard in order - early Saturday before it gets over 100 degrees.
Zoee has been chillin' in the toy box (when she's not wobbly walking all over the house with a great big excited almost toothless grin on her face).
Here's Jaden cleaning up his new $5 yard sale toy...
and here he is enjoying it afterward. After hosing his slide down, we hosed him down, so he would be cool enough to stay outside and play for a few minutes!
We've been enjoying family walks and playing on the grass after the sun goes down. Once in a while we'll have a day that will dip below 100 degrees, but we mostly have to just stay in the house, car, store, or public pool until the sun goes away and it cools to the 90s.
My most precious possessions...
This one makes my heart smile.

Your kids are growing up so fast! They are both adorable! Glad you are finding ways to stay cool, it can be hard in such a hot place!
Wow, I can't believe how hot it is there! Good for you coming up with things to keep the little ones busy, even when outside isn't an option during the day. I know what you mean about boredom breeding naughtiness...my girls are the same way. That's why we joined the Y this summer, we had to stay busy or my almost-1st-grader might not have survived the summer. As it was, we had a great summer, so I guess I don't like being bored either!
It's great seeing pictures of all of you. The kids are so darling, I can't get over little Zoee's grin! Miss you guys!
