Weather & the Crib

It is so stinkin' hot today.  It's been that way for a few days.

I think the last time it was under 80 degrees INSIDE the house was probably Sunday night/ Monday morning. 

Last night was completely wretched.  If I hadn't of had a monstrous headache and drugged myself I don't think I would have slept much at all because it was so hot.

I know that other people might want this kind of weather right now.... but we'd like a little rain to cool things off.  (According to the news last night via Abuela it's supposed to rain on Friday & Saturday, so just a couple more days.)  The dust is picking up again, which means less time ouside playing, but in this weather we don't really want to play outside.  This morning after we went for a walk down the hill to the pulperia (a small grocery store) Maria's little face was SO red from the heat and walking back up the hill.  We're definitely having lots of water and juice these days.  One of the only ways to cool down is baths, but since the water is off so often we have to fill up extra buckets of water just in case the kids want a late afternoon bath.

In other news... Cooper will be turning one next week.  AHH!  My little baby boy isn't such a baby anymore.  He is totally super cute though. 

A couple of weeks ago we found a guy who would make a crib for us for less than half the price others were asking and we ALL love it.

Mommy & Daddy love it because we don't have to worry about little boy falling out of the couch anymore...  Sister is jealous, she wants one of her own, and takes every possible opportunity to crawl into it and claim it as her own.  And little boy is sleeping so much better, which again makes Mommy & Daddy VERY happy.   He was NOT a good sleeper at all... up every 2 hours... oh how I was dreading going to sleep - knowing that as soon as I was wound down enough to fall asleep he'd be waking up!  Last night he actually did every 4 hours which was marvelous!
