Summer, that is. I'm 100%, totally, completely, with all my being, over summer. The mosquitos were bad, now the gnats have taken over. So much so that it will send you running into the house flapping your arms around like a crazy bird screaming "Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!" the whole way. (Tiffany and I did that yesterday.) I'm tired of feeling like I need 2 showers a day, and I usually only take them at night, but lately I've felt like I needed an extra one just to get to the evening without smelling! The kids are disgusting and covered in sweaty dirt. Poor Brick isn't getting much exercise b/c neither one of us want to brave the heat for a stroll. I agreed to walk with the kids over to the forklift and wood chopper that were working down the street, but I knew it would be hot. It was 11:00 in the morning after all. Sophie wants to ride on her little 4 wheeled Radio Flyer too, making you go e x t r a slow! It's cute to watch, but sweaty too. We finally make it and I convince her (kicking and screaming) to get into the jogger and enjoy the ride. She and Christopher suck down their drinks faster than ever and off we go to finish our outing. The workers were taking a break (thankfully!) and so we decided to just go around the corner and head home. Wasn't so "around the corner" like I thought. I told you it'd be a while since we gone on a real walk. I was sweating between my fingers. Have you ever done that? It's gross. You know you are sweating all over, but it's just not pouring down your body yet, just kind of sticking everywhere. We finally get home, and I'm drenched. And starving!!!! We eat lunch and now they are back playing outside again. I'm just hoping I can get them in the shower before naps without waking up Brandon too much. Hope you are having a cooler day than we are. I'm going to rinse off.
