beat the heat

This past weekend was a scorcher, over 100 degrees both Friday and Saturday. We managed to keep cool by hanging out in friends' pools. We fed our neighbors' dog while they were gone for the weekend and they generously let us use their pool. Friday night Little Miss J and I sent Gus solo for the regular Chunglund Costco tour and we hit the pool. We alternated between floating around and playing on the swingset. Thankfully, when all was said and done all she wanted was carrots, broccoli and toast for dinner, and I didn't really have to cook.

Saturday, Little Miss J spent the day with Auntie Rachael and Uncle Randy in their pool. Gus and I were going to try to catch a movie, but it ended up being sold out so we instead had some impromptu tacos at one of our favorite places and then walked around the mall holding hands just like the pre-kid days. When we went to pick Little Miss J up, it was still so hot that we both jumped in the pool with Rachael and Randy and floated around for another hour or so. We left feeling nice and refreshed, if not a little tired out. Little Miss J was asking to go to bed by the unprecedented time of 7:00 p.m. Of course it took her about 1.5 hours to actually fall asleep complete with a bed swap from her bed to ours.

Sunday turned out to be a much cooler day. Gus got his Father's Day present early, a compound mitre saw, so he can start working on his honey-do list, which includes some outdoor seating. He spent like 4 hours at Home Depot getting supplies so Little Miss J and I went on a big girl shopping trip to Target to get her flip flops like Umma and Appah, then played outside in the yard for a bit until she wet her pants despite the fact that I brought the potty chair outside for her. It's all fun and games until someone pees their pants.
