i live in wisconsin and the heat is bearable... but today there is a heat advisory and diego is extremely bored... it's too hot to go outside, much less go for a walk... and it's too hot to chase him around the house especially when only the living room is cooled by the air conditioner... so what can we do?!
take a cool bath! not only does he get clean from that stickiness, but he can have some fun cooling down... on top of that, i wont have to give him a nighttime bath.... yes, it's only 3:30pm when the bath begins.... but he had a dandy ol' time....
so for 1.5 hours, what can mama do?! well, read 5 kid books... sing the 6th one even though it's not even a rhyming book.... take pictures of diego splashin' all over the place and trying to swim.... take pictures of the little things around the house that i wanna flickr... drink a big mug of coffee.... remind myself to buy some more bleach so i can get that corner that seems to have mold in it no matter how much lysol i use... contemplate on how fast i could paint this bathroom a nice light shade of dull minty green... and then figure out how much it will cost- and if i can do it during the day when diego is running around or if i should wait until after 10pm...
i asked diego every 20 minutes if he wanted to get out... i got a very firm, "NO" and then even an, "i'm sorry, no"... so he stayed in there until 5pm... by the time i changed him from his swimmer shorts (i didn't want him using the tub as a giant toilet) he was nearly asleep....
now the house is quiet except for the whirring of the exhausted air conditioner...
Life with Ellia like the movie Life with father remember Pill?Looks like things are busy there!!!:)

Yes, this heat is absolutely unbearable. I walk the dogs at the Wisconsin Humane Society on Mondays and when I left yesterday to go there, it was 109 degrees with the heat index. I about passed out walking those dogs!
Cute bathtub pics. :)

I heard its really hot over there - ughh must be awful!
good to see Diego enjoyed his bath - was he wrinkled like a prune after spending all that time in there?
