Today was the first day of our first heat wave of the summer. The temperature was about 34 celsius, warmer with the humidex. The Girl went swimming before school! Nursing a hot baby when it is so hot and sticky out is not a very enjoyable experience. The last thing I want to do is hold the hot and sticky baby in this weather. The Baby did remarkably well in the hot weather, drinking lots of water, and eating a little less (which I assume is normal). We went to the mall in the afternoon and I bought shorts for myself. I haven't worn shorts outside of the house in years, but since it is so hot, and I am off on maternity leave this summer, I figured they might get a little more use this summer. I was actually glad, because with capris on I would have died in the heat today!
We were late picking up the kids because we got stuck in a construction zone on the way to the school. I actually had to call the school and ask to pick them up in the office. This was the first time this whole school year that I was late! Not bad:) This evening we had both the end of school BBQ and the kid had baseball games. The BBQ was nice, it was a chance for the kids to play a little and for the parents to chat over some nice food. It was so hot in the gym though!
After the BBQ we went to baseball, the Husband took the Boy to his game and the Baby and I took the Girl to her's. Tonight was the first time I took the Girl to one of her games this summer. They had their 'Fun Night" where they played games and had a water balloon fight. She got wet! It was actually a little cooler at the game (even in the sun). The Baby played on a blanket while I tried to watch the Girl play her games. She got a trophy and a popsicle which made the night very special for her.
When we got home the kids went into the pool, I bathed the Baby and the Husband hooked up a contraption that is supposed help warm the pool water.
