The Man had duty on the ship today, so I was in charge of keeping the kids entertained for the day, and since it's been hot as hell lately, keeping them cool.
Heat makes us all cranky, and I was marginally successful in keeping them pretty mellow and happy.
We watched movies, snacked and napped.
At one point Antonio went out to ride his bike, but came back after two laps around the neighborhood because it was too hot to play.

We did have to take a trip to the grocery store this evening, primarily for the opportunity to be in an air conditioned space. Our house, with its skylights, turns into an EZ-bake oven by 4:30, when the sun starts to hit overhead.

After coming home, putting away the few groceries and folding a load of laundry, I went to put clothes away.
Down at the end of the hallway I saw Julia freeze and stare at me, her brother's Sponge Bob toothpaste was firmly clutched in her hand.
Sparkly blue toothpaste was all over the bathroom door, part way down the hallway and smeared on the bedroom doors. Julia had a decent amount on her as well. I wasn't planning on giving her a bath tonight, since she'd spent some time in the kiddie pool, but now it was necessary.
