Summer is finally here in the great northwest! We are of course, sweltering, hot, sweating, muggy, exhausted, drained, tired, and…oh yeah, HOT!
After all of our griping and complaining about the rain we finally get some hot weather (99 according to my car – which of course I listen to all the time) and mostly all we’re doing is more complaining. It is soooo freakin’ hot today, that we’re primarily sitting around in front of fans trying to stay cool, and hoping that tomorrow will actually be cooler – who’d have thought?
Ethan and Emily got out the sprinklers (yay for summer when you’re little) and enjoyed running around getting soaked for at least two hours before my water conservation urges kicked in and I just had to make them turn it off. It was really hard cause I know the poor babies were just hotter than all get out but with the volume they were going through it was the right choice and who knows? Maybe saved a bit on the huge water bill I’m expecting in July…ah well, summer only comes once a year and in Seattle we’re lucky if it comes at all.
Poor Riley had to work a shift at McDonald’s today and said it was absolutely swealtering in the kitchens, I can imagine it but it was pretty cute to listen to him talk about having a “rough day at work”. Must be a mom thing <grins> but I do enjoy watching him learn all these new things about how the world operates, including how sometimes we have to put in long shifts at jobs with less-than-ideal working conditions. Ah well, he likes his job so that’s a plus, at least he’s got that going for him.
Connor got to go to a birthday party this weekend and watch the movie Wall-E which was very exciting, he says he could see it “again and again and again” which I think means he had a good time and liked it. On our way to drop him off Ethan started in about his shoes and turns out they’re fading fast we stopped in and picked up a nice pair of summer sandals, and managed to find some for Michael too, so now we’re all set for the heat.
Bring on the heatwave!
