No AC

 
Dearest Joshua David and Grace Elizabeth~
 
Joshua, you woke and ran into our room at 4am.  Grace, you came in at 6am.  But, despite your early wake up times, we all still managed to stay in bed and sleep in until 7:30am!  Yippie!  Oh, and Joshua, you ate some cheerios at breakfast with us!  You usually don't eat any foods for at least an hour after you wake up,  but you had a few pieces of cereal this morning!  Yeah!

We took it easy this morning since we were up and in a car so early yesterday.  So, we went for a family walk to the shops and back .... about 2.5 miles.  It started to rain on us on the way back home.  So, we went under some trees for fun until it calmed down, though we all got wet.  ;-)  Once we were back home and inside, it started to rain some more. 

You two had snack time once home.  Joshua, you had your applesauce and some apple pieces.  Grace, you had some yogurt and some apple pieces. 

Since everyone was wet anyway, everyone had a bath or shower right after.  Then, we all played downstairs while lunch was cooking.  You two made a huge block building with daddy.  For lunch, you two ate a good amount of chicken nuggets and fries!  :-)

We did our grocery run to Target after lunch since we didn't have time yesterday.  You both ate 2 cookies and then fell asleep on the car ride home.  It was a little crowded in the store since its tax free weekend with everyone going back to school soon.  You two continued to nap on the couches downstairs once home since we noticed the upstairs was really hot.  Is our AC not working now?

While you two slept, I got some chores done.  I ordered more stamps, wrote a 'thank you' card to Marie and Martin for yesterday, cleaned out my emailed account, organized my jewelry box, and then started to cook dinner.

You two woke once I was cooking.  We made a beef with rice mixture.  Then, had green beans on the side with apple pieces.  You two didn't eat much.  I think Grace might have eaten more.

You all continued to play downstairs after dinner while I cleaned and daddy cooked some chicken for his lunches this week.  We're doing well with our family goals so far, especially with the workout goals and eating healthier!  And, we've all been good about our daily Bible reading!  Go us!  :-)

Oh, Grace, if prompted, you will sign 'I want', 'please', 'fish', 'all done', and probably some others.  You'll also mimic new signs too. 

Uncle Brennan and Aunt Katie came over later this evening to look at our upstairs AC unit.  Our fan is not spinning on the outside unit.  Uncle Brennan took out the capacitor and tested it.  It appears to be blown so we ordered a new one online.  So, it will be hot upstairs until it comes .... hopefully tuesday.  It was too late last night to move things downstairs as 'beds', so we opened all the windows and had all the upstairs fans going at full speed upstairs to help 'cool' the place down.  I have a feeling it won't be a comfortable evening.  :-P

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
