Summer Days...

So it has been so hot here lately...its been heat index in the 100's and we haven't had any rain. But we are trying to soak up and enjoy these last few weeks of summer before Colby starts back to school.


Sunday we had Austin with us at church which was so nice! I hated though that I didn't get to sit with him I had nursery duty in Colby's class. It went pretty well but that class can get very hyper. We had 7 kids. We had two 3 year olds. One four year old and 4 five year olds. They are a very active bunch. We finally decided to let them watch a Veggie Tales movie. It was too hot to take them outside to burn off steam and they were just all wired. It worked pretty well. Colby was very well behaved though and I am very thankful for that!


The rest of our day was pretty low key once we got home. We took naps and austin worked in the yard. It was so nice that afternoon it was overcast and windy so we took advantage and let Colby ride his bikes in the front yard.


Monday Austin was off again. We took Colby to the aquarium. Like I say its miserably hot so outdoor activities aren't too fun plus we hadn't been there in awhile. But the heat made it hard just walking to and from the car. Colby enjoyed it but really rushed through it. He doesn't stop at many of the exhibits he just runs from point to point looking for places to climb or buttons to push. Great thing about having a membership though! We don't feel as if we have lost anything! He did enjoy the new bird exhibit Parakeet Point! It was really cool but I wasn't too fond of holding a feed stick it kinda freaked me out to have a bird landing on you. Anyway glad we got to do it though but I think we will only do that when daddy is with us! After going through the aquarium we decided to eat lunch at a place in the quarter called Cafe Maspero's. I don't think we have been there with Colby except once when he was a baby. He was tired by this point but he still did pretty well. It was fun just eating out with my 2 boys! He loved seeing all the cars and trucks going through the Quarter though!


Today (Tuesday) we had errands to run. Mainly we had to get my car into the shop. Austin got backed into last Wednesday night when he was putting gas in it! So he and my dad went to get that fixed while Colby and I continued getting ready. Whenever he got home we ran a couple quick errands then went out to the church to do our "Back to School" bulletin board for the nursery! As always Colby did not mind being up there and getting to play with the toys! We got it done pretty quickly though then went to Bravo for lunch. I think we all 3 enjoyed our lunch there. That's only the 2nd time we have brought Colby. He definitely enjoyed it more today then the last time! The rest of the day we hung out at home. It was a good start to the week having Austin home with us!
The rest of the week will be pretty routine for us: errands, swimming, grocery shopping that sorta thing!
