Simmering Summer Days

We had a rough week, as many of you know.  But I tried my hardest to make things fun for the kids and keep up our activities, though in this summer heat it is easy to hibernate inside.

First off, Hayden has taken up sleeping on the floor.  For his naps and bedtime.  He bundles all his blankets into a small corner between his bed and closet and crashes. I will move him back to his bed for the night, though.



We tried going on a walk one morning instead of swimming.  After twenty minutes the kids looked like lobsters from being overheated.  So I guess if we don't take walks at 8 AM we don't get to take walks for the rest of the day!


Wednesday we went and got the car safety inspection done on my car and then played at the mall.  Kylie really loved the Stuart Little car and kept climbing in and giving the mouse a great big hug while saying "I love you mouse!"


This week Hayden finally picked up riding his trike!  He is really good at going backwards, and fairly good at going forwards!  Now come the days where he rides his trike halfway through the neighborhood and I carry it back home the other half!


Thursday we finally got a good rain storm!  Sadly Kylie had an earache and fever ( I think from swimming too much...), so she didn't get out and play in the rain, but Hayden and I had tons of fun!



Friday we got another storm, but this one was tons of wind and not much rain.  It was still fun to play in though.



Also!  On Friday Kylie lost her first tooth!!  It was very exciting and Kylie was super thrilled to finally have the Tooth Fairy come visit her!  On Saturday when she woke up she couldn't find the Tooth Fairy treasure and she started wailing "It's gone forever!".  I had to go help her find her golden dollar coin that had traveled down into her blankets.  She didn't let it go all day!  She also has a second tooth that is ready to pop out, though she isn't so eager for this one to fall out.


Today Kylie got sung 'Happy Birthday' in Primary, so she already thinks it is her birthday!!  Not yet!  I can't believe she is going to be five years old in a few days!!!
