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!

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!

Today was just a typical chaotic weekday but it wiped me out! The boys are so busy and they both took short naps today.

They found some new uses for old toys.

If they aren’t having a screaming tug of war over a toy, they play together nicely.

Yay for playing together nicely!

Then there is stuff like this

We lowered Brendan’s mattress today. Maybe it will make it harder for Trevor to hoist up and flip in. And it will make it safer for Brendan who is getting to be a better climber himself. He doesn’t always pick the easiest way to get in to things.

He was climbing up to give an opinion on all of the paint samples

And just climbing because he saw Trevor doing it

Trevor was busy casting magic spells

Should we be afraid?

They like to play together if lots of NOISE is involved. Like drumming

Brendan’s numbers are finally getting back to the excellent way they were before he got sick back in April. It is such a relief to see those upper 80’s.
