Z was almost back to normal today.No more fever or puking but a bit out of sorts, probably because she woke up at 5:30 am, grrrrr.
It was about a billion degrees out today and very very humid. It literally felt like you were standing in a sauna outside. Blech. We spent most of the day inside. L had her four year check up this morning. She got 3 shots and was such a trooper. She is growing very well, following a perfect curve, 41 inches and 34 lbs. She's tall and skinny just like her mom, yeah right.
We then visited Daddy at the firestation. The kids were having fun playing in his bedroom with him but those damn citizens needed him. He got a call and had to leave us and go rushing out. L was very very upset. No matter how much I explained to her that Daddy's job is to go help people when there's a fire or someone gets hurt. She just didn't care, she just wanted Daddy. I on the other hand got rather turned on watching him jump into his gear and leap onto the fire engine and go speeding away all sexy and manly and stuff. ;)
After L had a melt down for nearly half an hour we headed back home and stopped at the farmer's market near our house and loaded up on fresh blueberries, strawberries, grapes, raspberries, bananas, tomatoes and corn. It's too hot out to eat anything else.
We played outside for a little while but the two of them were so sweaty they literally looked like someone had poured water over their heads. So inside with the nice air conditioning we went and stayed.
What a thrilling day, huh?

Sounds like a great day - except the meltdown of course. :)

I love going to the farmer's market in the summer. I try to hit the surrounding towns on the days they host.

The heat has been ridiculous. Today was beautiful though.
