Oh What Do you Do in the Summer Time

It has been hot here. Hot like in the 100's everyday and cooling down to about 78 before dawn. So we have been finding ways to beat the afternoon cabin fever.

The kids staged a battle scene for us. For some reason Anya is pretending to be blind, by pulling her hat down over her eyes. She also has Elmo in her shirt, a tutu, and heals. I guess she'd rather fight in style than comfort.



Anya is being a pink kitty doing ballet. That is why she is meowing. This kitty can also stand on it's hind legs to dance. Pretty talented. Anya loves all things ballet and says she's going to ballet class when she turns 6.



Talmage doing a cartwheel over a hula hoop. We started out just jumping through the hoop (well Aaron and the kids jumped, I just held the hoop) and then we played London Bridges, and eventually ended with tricks like cartwheels.


Here's the kids sword fight scene. At the beginning Anya says "I cut off your hand." That's why Talmage is holding his sword funny. He tries not to play too tough with her, but she usually holds nothing back.
