I haven't seen highs like this since I lived in SE Alabama, so it's been a while. But you know, as much as I dislike it, I've really tolerated it pretty well. I think the combination of not having central heat and air in our house and the office (just window units in both) so it's probably never cooler than like 75+ in the house anyway, and going to hot yoga, I'm just coping better. I'm annoyed I can't really run much outside unless I get up early, but otherwise we've just been chilling out in the pool!
The few time I have gotten up early to run I've gotten some great shots. I've been running through the farm between us and dad. It's safe, great views and a heck of a workout running through the grass, especially when pushing the jogging stroller, but Bean loves all the bumps!!
Since I posted last we all got over our nasty stomach bug that ruined our birthday/father's day weekend and we pushed it back to the weekend of the 22nd. We had a nice, but hot, cookout at mom and dads.
I finally got to sneak in a ride on my new bike and let me tell you, it's like riding a bmw compared to that crap thing I had before! Triathlon's will be fun with this thing!! I can shave a ton of time off my first one now because biking is what took me so freaking long!
Ben's been going crazy playing with his new golf clubs at the country club and taking some lessons. He has good days and bad days but practice is what he needs. Although there's no way in hell you are going to find me out on the golf course in this crazy heat!
Because it's been soooooo dry they canceled the great, and I'm not saying that sarcastically, fireworks that Elkton puts on every year....well I guess the postponed them until damper conditions. We headed over to some friends for the evening of the 3rd, which would have been the night of the fireworks and we could see them well from their house but instead we just ate and socialized!
Mallory had a ball running around with her cousins Luke and Allie.
The 4th was just perfect in my opinion, a lazy morning with an afternoon spent at the pool while Ben played golf and then we had hot dogs at mom and dads. And we actually got some really good rain late in the afternoon!!
We converted Mallory's crib into a big girl bed, we skipped toddler bed and went to full size. Mainly because Ben's parents really don't have a good place to sleep when they are here so that solved that problem too. She did pretty well the first night, has had a few naps in it now and we will be on night #2 tonight since Bud and Susan were in it the past couple nights.
I did another Paint and Sip on Friday night with Stef and we did some cute daisy's and I hung it over Mallory's bed!
I love getting to paint again, it's my medium of choice!
Here's more pictures from the past few weeks!
