The joys and pains of summer

CLAY'S HIJACKED THE BLOG AND I'M TAKING IT BACK!!!3E0047.JPG
I just don't know how much longer I can stand this heat. I know, I know, it's much hotter in Phoenix and El Paso and places like that, but I live here and it's hot here. I had all these great ideas of Ethan and I taking long walks on the days I'm home, and how we could walk to the sno cone stand down the road, etc., etc. Well, it's just too hot. And I feel so bad for Ethan because the kid LOVES to be outside. Last night we were at my parent's house for dinner and we put his little pool in the shade and you could just see the relief on his face. I guess we'll have to start planning more 8 p.m. outdoor events.

3E0020.JPGI'm not sure if it's because I'm older or what, but I just don't remember it being this hot as a kid. Bryan and I would be outside from the moment we woke up until it was too dark to catch crawdads anymore. And all of our friends were outside, too. Sigh. At least the fall is right around the corner. When October gets here and I'm feeling tired, I'll remind myself to look back at this post and GET OUTSIDE!

Hope you're all enjoying the hot summer!

  1. I totally agree about the heat. There will be times that we don't go outside all day and I just feel so bad for Em. My double jogger is just waiting for October to get here!

  2. Lisa, it's not because you're old, it's because you're pregnant! Don't worry, it'll cool down sometime in November. Love, Erin

  7. Well....I'm sure it is as hot as can be over there in Texas...but at the moment I can't really relate, although it is SUPER humid here because of all these tropical depressions...or something like that. But, what I want to talk about is your hijacked blog...glad to see a Lisa post every now and then...although Clay makes me laugh too. Anyway, just wanted to say glad you're back. -kat
