Too Hot to Think of a Good Title

I'm not sure how hot it got today. As I type this, the thermostat in the front yard is reading 108 degrees. The thermostat in the backyard says 99 degrees. Neither one is in the sun at this point, but the one in the front yard had the sun beating on it later afternoon and evening. Sounds like the sun is taking its toll on Danelles garden too.


We tried to beat the heat this evening by running an errand to the book store. Kristin's birthday party is coming up and we are going to do a book exchange instead of traditional gifts. Every child who brings a book will be able to take a different book home. So we went to the bookstore to get a few extra book just in case. The book store conveniently had a toy section near the kids books, so I chased Kellen around while Danelle and Kristin picked the books. Kellen would take the toys off the shelf and wanted to open then right there and start playing. He had a hard time with the 'those aren't our toys' concept.
