Trying to stay cool

With the triple digit temps we have had to use water a lot to get energy out!

My kids have a LOT of energy.

Ha!

I made the mistake of not wearing a shirt to the lake on Saturday and we went in the middle of the day.

Does not matter how hard I try to get sunscreen everywhere, I always miss a spot.

OUCH.

Also, slip n slides have to make some of the best pics.

I love the fun faces that I get from these.

Water Balloon Fight! ~Day 6

My in-laws left my nephews with me while they went out to dinner with some other family that lives in the area.

I knew if I was going to have all four boys I wanted to give them an outlet for all of their energy!

fight

Water balloons are amazing.

When they are made by someone else…

splash

None of the boys could tie them so I had to tie them all.

waterdrops

My fingers hurt so we did them in two batches.

smash

They did not seem to mind.

Personalities come out in a battle like this.

My youngest nephew preferred to run away the whole time, even if it meant he got less balloons.

I am with him, I run also.

held

My youngest tried to make it easier for him by holding his brother down.

balloon

I love this kid.

closed

The other boys were just as happy to be hit by a balloon as to throw one.

aim

Guess who ended up with the last balloon?

fire

He was pretty happy.

I wanted to stay outside longer but since it was so hot out we had to play in water.

This one wanted to know why I take pictures all the time.

I do it so much that I forget that it seems odd to some people.

You know that crazy Aunt that people talk about that will not stop taking pictures at holidays and gatherings?

I have become her…

pickup

I am okay with that though.

I treasure these images.

I think I will continue on with being the “crazy Aunt”.

It makes me happy.

100 degrees and counting…

It has been crazy hot in Oklahoma!

It is almost funny to look at the weeks weather forcast and see hundreds across the board.

Almost…

It does get my wheels churning on what I can do to make for a more comfortable photo session for my clients braving the heat.

I used a water balloon fight, that was so much fun!

I also love to put a little water in a tub and let a baby splash around. Anything to keep cool!

I forget about myself though.

Maybe I should buy a mister and attach it to my back so I can stay cool?

Or maybe I should hose myself down before every session so I am nice and wet?

Maybe not.

I will keep thinking.

While you wait on the edge of your seats for my next awesome idea on how to keep myself cool in the crazy heat, I will share a little cuteness from tonights session.
