Today as we are driving home from the chiropractor at almost 6pm, the sign on Grant Road said 103*. Yuck! I like warm weather, but over 100 is just plain HOT.
I'm thinkin', well, the girls took a nap... and they have been getting up really early lately, so maybe we'll stay up late and play outside in the cool evening. So we did, only it wasn't that cool. Rather humid, as I was "glowing." (That's the feminine for sweating!) Isaac was basking in the breeze created by laying on the swing, sucking on his binkie, falling asleep.
We got about 45 minutes in of evening fun when all chaos broke loose. I dropped what I was doing, ran to grab the screaming baby and leap onto the deck. Kiera was screaming for her dear clothes that were laying in the yard. Melia ran like a superhero to gather the precious items.
What happened you say? The daily detail I always seem to forget.
The sprinklers turn on at 8:30. And poor Isaac had two of them pointed at the swing.
The sweet part is that later, when I told Melia that I was proud of her for running through the sprinklers to pick up all their clothes and shoes and Isaac's blanket, she said she felt God helping her "to be faithful to what she needed to do." Ahhh, isn't she cute? I'll wait a few years before I try to explain adrenaline. :-) Faith builders are always more important!
Now, remind me to ask Gabe to switch that time again....
