August

As I was looking through my camera I had an abundance of unusually cute pictures. I can't think of any blog posting that can explain them all so I'm just going to give you a run down of our very hot August here in Texas. There was the ballet lesson of course, and you'll never believe it, but two weeks later I spent the day promising her that she would finally have a lesson that day when the phone rings and the teacher is sick. No ballet that day either. You have GOT to be kidding me.

Our main event this month was a visit from Nana. She braved the hottest month in Texas, with temps never falling below 100 while she was where. I did hear her say, "this isn't so bad" a few times. There's just something different about our heat than up on the east coast. That said, I can't wait for jeans and the fireplace...I'm done with this heat. One of the most exciting parts of her visit was the creation of the murals on the kids walls. I'll show you the pictures in a few days as they deserve their own post. While she was here we rode the hot train....

Wore our hot sunglasses....


Saw the hot dinosaur at the science museum....


Harvested our hot (and somewhat pitiful) carrots, which Ellie ate all of at one sitting....

Wore our hot farmer Brown clothes....

And I don't even know what to say about this one other than, "How adorable is he!?"

Oh, August...eight days to go...I don't why I keep telling myself that September will be cooler...It will, RIGHT????
