Our Kids

Shortly after the sunflower photos on flickr, the air went out.  Needless to say it is cause for freaking out around here.  I think that poor Otto got the brunt of it of course since he stayed here while we went to cooler climes at the Haslup’s in Scottsdale.  It was all okay, the girls were a bit out of their element but did really well sleeping and such.  We were able to return home on Monday but had to wait until 2PM for the AC guy to get here.  He had it all fixed by 5:30PM and it got cooler around 8PM.  All in all it wasn’t too terrible and could have been much worse.

I was just thinking how hot it was outside and that we should buy a treadmill for these couple months since I am a bit cranky when I return from my workout in the AM at 6:50 sweating buckets.  But I guess I would rather have AC year round than a treadmill for a couple months.   Just when you think you have stashed away some extra cash something always comes up:)  LOL!  Cycle of life!

The girls have picked up two of my traits.  I would say two of my more annoying traits but who am I kidding, they are all annoying at some point (my traits, not the girls:).  Anyhoo, Piper twirls her hair when she is tired or bored.  She just sits and twirls away, something I got genetically from my dad and have passed along to her.  The other night she was uber tired and went to bed with her hair wet, in the morning she had a huge knot in her hair right at the twirling spot.  It was cute and thankfully not too bad to get out.

Lela is the expressionista!  Along with the sensitive nature she inheirited from her dad (and me) she makes the funniest facial expressions all the time.  You can’t help but laugh out loud even when she is trying to show you how upset she is with you.  She is just a crack up, I can see the teacher’s notes now, “Lela would excel in her schoolwork if she would focus and not try to be the class clown.”
