Trapped Inside

So like many other places in the country, it has been extremely extra hot lately. Almost everyday in the last 2 months has been over 100 degrees, plus humid and sunny. It is pretty much miserable to go outside. I have tried but it is just unbearable. I have still managed to get my run in most days; I just have to go really early in the morning or late at night when the sun is setting. Not only has it been extremely hot, but it has hardly rained in months. I thought Louisiana summers were rainy? Well, Annabelle was quite excited when it finally rained the other day. She enjoyed walking around in it for a bit.

Since it has been so hot and not pleasant to play outside, I've had to get creative on finding things for Annabelle to do. I discovered that the movie theater does morning children movies for only $1.00 during the summer. Normally we don't bother taking Annabelle to the movies because she doesn't sit quietly through them, but since it is only $1.00 I figured I would try. I took her last week and had a whole container of popcorn ready for her to help keep her quiet. She loves popcorn. Jeff and I spent like 20 minutes the night before taking all of the kernels out of the popcorn pieces.

We also had a pedicure session. I painted my toenails the other day and Annabelle kept pointing to my toes all day, so I decided to paint hers too. She loved it.

The girls with our pedicures. Don't you just love those chubby little legs?

Annabelle likes to wear her hat around the house sometimes. It looks especially nice with that diaper! I think she'll have a lot of fun with dress-ups when she is older.

Sleeping like an angel. It's funny how kids can sleep in the strangest positions.

Jeff is now halfway done with his micro course and then he should have some more spare time... We hope! I am thankful for all of his hard work!
