Suffocating Heat and Suffocating Colds


What started off as a pretty fun summer came to an abrupt halt not too long after I last posted.  First of all, it’s been too dang hot to take the kids outside at all.  Even if Adalynn could cool off at one of the sprinkler parks, Wesley cannot so we haven’t been outdoors in quite a while thanks to these 95-100 degree days.  Yesterday was supposed to “cool off” to 86 degrees so Addy and I ventured outside yesterday morning so she could ride her bike, but it was already over 90 at that point and we barely lasted an hour out there.  I’m running out of fun things to do indoors, and Adalynn is definitely getting bored.  (Well, I’m sure I could come up with more things but the poor girl gets the shaft since Wesley still requires so much attention so I can’t solely focus on fun activities for just her).  At least we could still go to Mom’s group at the church….. but I’m guessing that is where I came down with this nasty cold I’ve had for a week now.  Despite all my hand-washing and sanitizing, my little buddy is now sick as well and thanks to his drool DNA all over this house, I’m sure it won’t be long before Adalynn gets it too.  So there was no Mom’s group for us this week.  What a bummer of events. 
Before all this, we celebrated a fun Independence Day and hosted parties on both July 3rd and the 4th.  Adalynn got to see fireworks both nights and was incredibly thrilled.  I tried to get a cute picture of my patriotic pair, and the results are quite amusing - especially considering Wesley really was in a good mood (I swear!) during the photo shoot despite what you’re about to see……




 When the bottom lip wasn’t sticking out, he had the “deer in the headlights” look…..

And of course the one time he does smile, big sis has given up and practically fallen asleep….
Please pray for the sick bugs to exit our house very soon and for some decent weather –we seriously could use a park day!
