I confess. My kids watch way too much TV. Some moms are great during the summer and they go play outside with their kids every day. I HATE SUMMER. It's SO HOT! And it's so much work to do anything outside with tiny kids. Sandbox--change clothes and power hose the kids. Pool/Sprinkler/Water Table--put them in water clothes and diapers, then bathe, lotion and reclothe and diaper them. Running around outside--clean off and change clothes. AGHH! It's all so much work and I HATE being hot! SO, during the summer I am a terrible mother. My kids watch lots of TV. I am much better during the winter. We do walks, and exploring, etc.
Today I decided I would be a better mom. On my terms. So, we played with the bouncy house.
Inside. See for yourself.
The kids loved it. I got the balls out for it too, but no photos of that.
Also, after bath time tonight, I reached over and grabbed a towel for Eli and one for Dora. They usually use the same towel, but they both wanted out at the same time. Turns out Dora's towel was a bathrobe. I got this when the kids were tiny. I am sorry to say I never used it. It seemed like such a hassle. DORA LOVED IT. She wouldn't take it off. She spent the next hour in her robe, even after I put her PJs on, she put it on over them. FUNNY!
Cute!!
Oh and my random homemaking tip for the day: If you use a toaster oven like me (a lot a lot) to save on the electric bill, don't try baking a homeade-from-scratch-cherry pie in it. It will taste like poo. You will be sad.

FUN!!! I hate the cleaning the kids after they play outside too. But I'm so desperate to get them out of my hair that i'll do anything. hahhaaa.
That seriously looks like so much fun. I am excited for two so they can play together with one there seems to be so much entertaining from Mom. I am sure that doesn't completely go away, but Em needs a little friend
Wow - it looks like they were having a ball - I can't believe it's very hot there though - you can't fool me...I was there in June and practically froze! Love Dora in her little robe - maybe she needs another one that's more her size?
Oh . . . we SO need a bouncy house!!!! I think our kids would just live in the bouncy house. Hayley was talking today about wanting to go over to Eli's house. Now she's going to make us buy a plane ticket!!!
I want to come and play at your house!! I totally agree about not playing outside during the summer. It is hot and humid here, so of course is not fun!
