Year 2 – Week 36 – Day 4

It was another scorcher today. We went out before 8am to get our grocery shopping done and it was already 100 degrees. I called for a fireman rescue but he was too busy hanging out in the freezer section being a crab!

As soon as we got groceries put away, I took Trevor for a swim. Either the sun was a lot worse than I expected (at 9:30am!) and my sunscreen application really was terrible, or Trevor had a reaction to the sunscreen. His little cheeks have been splotchy red and bumpy all day. Poor kid!
He did have a good time swimming, the water was 89 degrees!

Rough morning!

He also got to see Maggie-Moo

Brendan was busy at home seeing how he could get in to trouble

And he worked on his naughty faces

I would say that I put Trevor in time out, but someone would turn me in for child abuse. He totally took out all the shelves and tots and got in to the cabinet all by himself, and he thought it was hilarious.

How much is that Trevor in the window?

Brendan came to play too, he’s trying to figure out how he can get in

Trevor teaches him other trouble techniques

The boys each have a new pillow for their bed tonight. Trevor was beyond excited about the pillow, especially since his has little frogs on it. He rolled around with it for 20 minutes at bedtime tonight and finally fell asleep with his feet up on his fish.

Brendan is still up, refusing to sleep!

Year 2 – Week 36 – Day 3

The rumor that it was going to hit 120 degrees here today was grossly exaggerated. It stayed nice and cool.

Trevor and I made one quick run to the store this afternoon to buy things I needed to make dinner. I took a bunch of ice packs and put them in his car seat when we went in. When we came out, the ice packs were warm, but the whole seat was nice and comfortable to sit in, not hot like fire!

We kept the day low key, no going outside to play. The boys watched their favorite muppet movie again.

Brendan has his new “Tough Guy”/Attitude face that he makes now, especially when he is being contrary.

He also has the “Tough guy trying not to smile” cute face

He is getting to be more and more of a pain to Trevor. He will crawl right up and snatch things away, and he likes to head butt.

One more night on the cot for this week. I am turning in early and hoping that Brendan sleeps through the night!

Year 2 – Week 36 – Day 2

It is nice when there is no drama to write about, just a couple photos.

We had a mystery garbage truck appearance today at 8am. The neighbor directly across the street called in a special pickup for a bunch of tree limbs so the truck was in front of our house for a while with men throwing big branches in and compacting.

Then Trevor had to wait in the shade for the mailman to come down the street.

We got a package today with a new cot bed that I can sleep on for the no-nurse nights. I can set it up near Brendan’s crib and it won’t be as hot as the leather couch. I will try it out tonight!
The boys helped Bill put it together.

It was the perfect place for lots of frog jumps and some crawling chicken games

And treating it like it was a trampoline

It was so hot today, we threw some kabobs out on the patio and let them cook to a nice char. Don’t they look beautiful?

(I lie, we used the grill) But it is going to be 120 degrees tomorrow. Yikes!
