My mother has been telling me that she wants to buy refrigerator so they could stock food without spoiling and she could sell some processed food. So in the morning after visiting the stores that are burnt down by fire we went to a merchandise store to inquire how to get refrigerator by installment.

My mother and sister were already known by the owner because it is the same store where they get there motorcycle, they were told what the requirements to avail refrigerator by installment.

We went to town last week to see if the money I withdrawn and my father’s salary already came, it was there already so my mother withdrawn money to pay for down payment.

Being away for three years seems so long. Our house is now in the process of decayed, the walls are now been eaten by termites, the floor was already cracked that’s why my mother decided not to change the linoleum anymore because she said it is going to be same.

 Well instead of wandering around and seeing everything I didn’t see for long three years I do general cleaning inside our house together with my mother and sister. We washed clothes, blankets, mosquito nets and everything. I cleaned the cabinets, dishes rack, floors and etc. The house is quite dusty maybe because we are just beside the busy street where trucks, jeepneys and motorcycles are going on and on.

 My sister actually gets angry with me for cleaning the vcd rack because I cleaned the disc one by one which she think a lot of work because after few days it will be dusty again.

We are quite busy these past few days. My mother and I just arrived from Manila yesterday after fetching me, today I do some cleaning at home because it was too dusty. And as expected my mother get angry because her things and important receipts where misplaced.  Anyway she didn’t know that I just set the receipts in top of the bed.

While we encourage our children to play outdoors and exercise daily, it can sometimes be difficult when the warmer months of summer hit. Creating a cool and welcoming outdoor environment will enable you children to play safely, even when the sun is at its brightest. If you’re looking for some fun and interesting ways to keep your kids cool this summer, check out these family-friendly activities below.

Go for a Swim

It seems like one of the most obvious ways to cool down, but this activity needn’t be restricted to families with large pools. Children love to play in kid-sized pools and you’ll find that they’ll provide hours of enjoyment. Most parents end up joining in on the festivities, because on a hot summer’s day, taking a dip with your kids is the best fun!

Create a Shaded Environment

Shade is the key to keeping your kids cool and safe in summer. Sunburn and heatstroke are not pleasant, to say the very least, so avoid these nasties by creating a shaded play environment for your children. Erect a temporary shade sail or even take advantage of the natural shade provided by trees, whatever you do, your kids will love playing outdoors in their new, cool environment. You can also check out some of the new home and land packages Sydney has to offer for ideas on the latest shade solutions.

Make a Cool Foods Station

One of the best ways to cool off in the midst of a heat wave is to consume cold food or drinks. Frozen fruit is always a favourite with kids in summer, simply place orange slices or grapes into the freezer for a quick cool down. Take the mess outside and get your kids involved in making some fun treats of their own. Make all natural smoothies or turn your smoothies into ice pops, the choice is yours!

Water Play Station

Now this may sound impressive (and it will be), but that doesn’t mean that it has to be expensive. Creating a water play station will have your children amused for hours and will help to keep them from overheating on a hot day. Purchase a cheap plastic table, fill different sized containers and trays with water and add some water-safe toys – and you’ve got yourself a water play station! The different sized containers and shapes will allow your children to create waterfalls and different sound effects, while cooling off with the splashes of water.

Bobbing for Apples

If you’re restricted by the size of your yard, always remember that you can still have fun while raising your children in an apartment or townhouse. Activities such as ‘bobbing for apples’ will have you all in stitches, while you cool down in the process! One of the best things about activities such as this is that you only need the space for a bucket and some towels to dry off! Don’t worry if you’re limited on space, there’s still plenty of fun to be had!

Your kids will love you for creating their new favourite play space, while you’ll be happy knowing that they’re cool and protected from the sun. For the best summer fun, try out these activities today!
