I can't think of a title
OK, I am alive. We are alive and well. Hot, sticky, often a bit grumpy, but here we are. I can't get over the heat we've had lately. I am soooo glad we are not in LA this summer, but really the ocean has not offered up its cool breeze during the day. It is starting to really cool down now at night but the last few weeks even the nights had a humid sticky feel. So what have we been doing?
Playing in the backyard a lot, spinklers, blow up pool, blow up slide, slip and slide, watching movies, hanging out. I've been working on our garage, trying to empty it of boxes from the move. I am almost done with it. The Rescue Mission is coming Friday to pick up a bunch of our give away stuff, once that is gone there will me a nice chucnk of space opened on one wall. We also used to get water delivered but not any more, but I have 9 empty water bottles in my garage waiteng to get picked up- that will clear up a nice space too.
We went to a Dodger game last week, I took Emma, Owen and thier cousin Paublo. Emma and Owen got to particpate in a pregame gymnastics show. We did it last year too, it was very cool. I was really worried aobut the heat- I figured we'd be baking up in the stands, but it wan to at all bad. the place it was yucky was when you went up to the consessions area- then it was hot and sticky. Here's a few more pics of the kids. Last year Emma was only able to handle the first 3 innings- then it got to be to loud for her. WE made it to 7 innings this time. What I figured out was that it is not the loud noise of the croud- she was totally into all the cheering and yelling. but what she does not like (and last year the first time they did it was in the 3rd inning, this year it wasn't until about the 5th or so), is the horns that preceed the word "CHARGE!" You know da da da dant da dant (am I a musical genius or what!??) She was a trooper through ti though and while she didn't like that particular sound, she didn't freak out about it and was happy enough to stay an dwatch some more. But we we getting tired and the drive home was about an hour so inning 7 was as good as any to go. I am looking forward to taking Evan to a game next year- he is such a sport nut. I've never liked watching basseball on TV, love playing it, and now I am definately a fan of going to a game. such a good time.
Owen is teaching himself how to read and write. in this last week he has taken a huge interest in writing words. The slip and slide we have is a Star Wars one, he copied "star Wars" and now writes it every chance he gets. He also figured out the "at" words, Sat, hat, bat, cat etc. so he writes thme every chance he can as well. At my moms today he was writing them out on the sidewalk , he wrote the word "fat" them startied giggling and calls out "mom, I wrote 'fat but' he figured out how to spell "but" on his own- I decided not to tell him at this time that the "but" he is thinking of has two t's. Later at home he was showing off for daddy and spelled all his words on our dry erase board and he saw one of his toy guns and figured out how to spell gun- based on his 'but' discovery. Emma wants to be able to spell too, but she hasn't quite grasped the concpts that Owne has. But (heheh I said but)she is really not far behind him- funny how one kid sparks the other's interest.
Ok, I do have more to say, but (heheheh) It is late and I need to sleep. I'll try to write again soon! 11 days without blogging- bad blogger- I hope to get back into the swing of tings someday.
