We had a bit of a heat wave there for a couple of days and I just couldn't stand the thought of doing anything outside with the girls. We holed up inside watching reruns of Say Yes to the Dress and reading, reading, reading. On one particularly steamy day, I came up with the idea of tie dying, which Emily has wanted to try. I found new way to do it with permanent markers and rubbing alcohol which doesn't create any mess. The shirts turned out great, although the smell of alcohol nearly turned all of our stomachs!
We also decided to try frying an egg on the sidewalk after we discovered that walking on the driveway without shoes was pretty painful. We waited a bit late in the day for maximum effect so we didn't get the egg to fry the way we wanted. However, we left it ouside overnight and someone decided that it was a tasty treat! So we helped nature a bit, at any rate. Stay cool!
