It feels like Summer

The past 3 days the weather has been INCREDIBLE!
80 degrees during the day.
Last night at 8 pm it was still 70 degrees out.
After the 2 weeks of rain & cold temperatures, this weather feels glorious!
The girls think it is summertime.
They were upstairs playing while I was making their dinner last night & they came downstairs with their bathing suits on & said they wanted to go swimming.
It was 5:30 and 82 degrees out, so I thought, why not!?!
I told them they could go in the (freezing cold) pool, but I wasn't going to swim with them!
They had some mac & cheese poolside & then it was time to test out the water.
The water was SO cold. Really, really cold.
They realized I was right...it was cold!
And, they jumped out pretty quickly!
But, like all kids...they couldn't resist the water & went back in.
They only played in the pool for about 10 minutes & mostly just waded around our Acapulco step
It is crazy to think that just last week it was dumping buckets & 50 degrees!
Kevin and I realized last night that our girls are SO much happier (and so are we!) when the weather is warmer.
They need the sun, nice weather, the ability to run around & play to burn off all that energy!
Spring is finally here in California, and to make it even better, baseball season officially started today!
Let's go Giants!

This gorgeous weather makes me want to skip Spring & go straight to summer.
The bad news?
Summer is over 2 months away....
The good news?
Spring Break is only 2 days away!
Can't wait for a week off school next week!

  3. Oh Mel!!!! That first picture of Kate is stunning... my new fav of her. Print that sucka BIG!

    It is getting HOT here... 96 out right now.

    Am I the only one who finds it amazing how close in size your girls are? Colin and Zoey are opposite ends of the % chart and there is a HUGE size difference. Zoey rocks size 6-7 in big girls and Colin is in 12-18 months.... I look at your girlies and they only look slightly different in size... I can't believe the difference.

  7. I love the "backwards swimsuit" look. My niece who is Claire's age "likes it that way". Definitely made me smile.

    We are loving spring at our house too!
