Last week the weather cooled way down. I'm sweating as I write this because it went way back up.
But when it was cooler out, the middles and I took a walk to a near-by park. And then to another nearby park. This one may have been taped off. Rebels. I brought hand sanitizer. Or as the kids ALL call it "hansatizer."
There's less than 3 years between them though their height difference suggests otherwise. The top of Winter's head now comes to my mouth when she stands next to me. And Addie just reached 40 pounds last week.
One of Winter's favorite things to do with poor Otter is to make her jump up onto things and pose for pics.
Nobody wears clothes in the house anymore, including Dan. I'm the only one who is appropriately dressed at all times. If someone knocks on the door, I'm definitely the one to answer.
Favorite quote of the week from my rice-loving girl.
Me: (after dinner) Mya can you put the rice in a container please?
Mya: I gotcher container right here! (pointing to her belly and wiggling)
The other day I asked Mya if she could french braid my hair. I showed her how much it had grown since I got it cut back in February. Her eyes got big and she was like, "UMMM YESSS PLEEEEASE!!!" And the rest is history. French braids for me from now on.
She's been begging me to grow my hair out for years so she could start doing cute hairstyles on it. Everytime I've come home with a new short haircut she's rolled her eyes and walked away. It finally grew out thanks to Covid and she's happy to say the least.
These two. I never have a good caption for these adorable pics. But they're too cute to leave out.
Covid officially pushed my eyes over the edge to where I can't read things unless I stick my arms out two feet away from my face. And since I'm reading books now (because of the lack of good TV) my arms get tired holding them away from my face. So... READERS!. I've always wanted glasses. I think they are a fabulous accessory and I think they automatically make people look smarter.
I knew I was ready for readers when I went to give Mya Benadryl and couldn't see the directions. So I just handed the bottle to her and told her to read the directions and take the recommended dose. She's almost 11. Pretty much an adult.
Swimming at our new favorite pool. The church pool. So much for getting exercise. Lazy bums.
Our wonderful cousins stopped by for a visit. I should stop torturing the kids by taking pics in the sun. Next time.
Yesterday I was in my bedroom with my shudders wide open overlooking our street and the blue sky above it when I got a text from my neighbor friend who was in Big Bear vacationing. "I heard there's a fire!" she texted. So I walked across the hall and looked out the kids' bedroom window and saw this. The kids were playing downstairs and didn't notice either. We're in our own little world these days.
Addie: (starting to freak out) What if the fire gets too close and heats up our house and kills the dogs?!
Angus: (puts his hands on her shoulders) It's OKAY Addie. If the dogs die, we can just go to the pet store and get new ones!
I'm running out of energy these days. I think my body and mind are already surrendering to the imminent exhaustion about to be caused by online-schooling 4 children. I've had no desire to make myself things for lunch and dinner. This stuff has been a nice little meal in a container. It's been around for years. These days I like it on toasted bread. Back when I put effort into my lunch, I would add lettuce and tomato and make a nice little sandwich. But you really don't need to add a thing. It's delicious.
Happy smokey Friday if you're in SoCal!
