December in SoCal

Reason number 683 why I love my backyard...

It is such a great place for summer water play! I don't even worry about wasting water, because it is giving my grass and garden a nice long soak (one sorely needed in this heat!)



Jonathan and Thomas are playing "Fireman Sam" here - it made me smile because they were forced to work together in order to play (holding their fire hose together was a two person job) and they did without fighting!



Sunday evening it was so hot that I lost my head entirely. We went to the store and bought ice cream and cones, and that was what we ate for dinner. (Well, not me, because I'm still not eating sugar. I made a smoothie.) The boys were sure I'd gone crazy, but they definitely enjoyed it!
