Current mood: accomplished
It has been so CRAZY/INSANELY HOT... errr.... SCORCHING! this whole week with the heat wave, that we haven't been able to really go outside. Today, however, the temp finally cooled down.. by ALOT! Infact it was in the low 80s!!! So we took full advantage of the break in heat.
Mid-afternoon Adrian mowed the lawn while Mia and I colored on the porch with sidewalk chalk. After the yard was done we made a trip down the road a bit to a brand new park they unveiled a few months back (ya its been too hot to check it out lately). It was so nice and modern. Mia LOVED it! They even had swings!!! No park in our area has swings so it was a nice treat for her.
She was only the on the jungle gym a few short mins and after sliding down the slide by herself once... she was ready for the swings (what she calls "weee weee") and she refused to get off of them. So Dada and I took turns pushing her and after we spent close to an hour pushing her we decided it was time to go. The sun was getting ready to set and Mama was getting hungry and tired.
So we had to take her off the swings... At first she didn't seem to mind but once her feet touched the ground she blew up and demanded that we put her back on "weeee weeee". Once her screaming and crying got worse, Dada picked her up and put her on the slide to distract her. Of course she didn't want to slide down and fought it, crying and screaming, the whole ride down. Once she hit the bottom she ran back to the swings.. UGH! haha So we knew it was time to go.
So we picked her up and put her in the car and off we went. She was NOT a happy camper. But the park was really REALLY nice so I can see us going back again real soon... well if the heat lets us!
