Summer, is that you?

WOW--I think summer officially made it here!! It got HOT today. Too bad it wasn't sunny yesterday so we could have gone swimming.
We made it to our yearly goal of not turning on the A/C til after June 15th. It is now June 17th and its not on yet. Fortunately, we don't deal with allergies so having the windows open works well for us until the humidity sets in. Living in a hotter climate helped me acclimate to the heat as well as working at the local park district w/o air conditioning in hot temps.
So, today at work was BUSY. Yikes.
Would you believe me if I told you that I came home and scrubbed the porch floor and walls, watered the flowers, weeded all over, put everything back on the porch and enjoyed it--even though I was pretty sweaty when it was all said and done. Why? Well, it was mindless work and it was outside. Whenever its a busy day at work, doing work outside or whatever helps to let off some of that stress I guess.
Our porch is getting so close to being finished. It is all closed in now. Tufsey has learned how to use his kitty door--yay!

In other news, Aliyah lost her very first baby tooth yesterday. It was about 3 weeks ago, we noticed it was loose. She could have made it hang on for weeks longer I'm sure, but the new tooth is coming through. I told her the old one needed to come out or the new one would grow in crooked.

Keirah is officially p o t t y trained!! I put a diaper on her at bedtime b/c she sleeps all the way through. Most of the time she wakes up dry or pretty close. The daytime is done though! She tells me that I don't need to come in with her--so self sufficient.

Well, It's almost 8 pm and no dinner yet--I think it's time!!

Happy summer and I'm so glad its here (weather-wise).
