An update of sorts

We've been keeping ourselves busy here and attempting to keep cool with the heat wave we've been having. Monday we dropped Eddie off at camp and went to the Franklin Park Zoo. It was really fun. I had offered Kevin and Ryan to go to the pool and they said "NO pool... ZOOOOOOOOO!" It was so cute... so to keep them busy til we got there, I told them to keep looking for the zoo signs. So then every time they saw a sign on the highway, they yelled out "ANOTHER ONE" in unison. It was great. They loved seeing all the other kids, making new friends and asking everyone "What's happening?" and "What's up?"... too cute! Tuesday and Wednesday I didn't send Eddie to camp because of the heat... thinking he'd be so hot and then come to find out today they have air conditioning! D'oh! Oh well, Tuesday we spent ALL DAY at the pool... everyone was fine, and it didn't FEEL hot but I was not so good about doing my own sublock so I ended up with a big sunburn. Shame on me, I certainly know better than that by now. Wednesday we had planned on going back to the pool after going to playgroup... but at playgroup, I had to keep running to the bathroom to get sick! The sun does a number on me and I must have got a case of sun poisoning or something like that. So we postponed the pool, headed home for lunch and naps. I was able to lay down for a while which was good. Today was Thursday, I dropped Eddie off at camp, and took Kevin and Ryan to school. We have been working on "separation" and today was a success! Yippee! That means in the future, I'll be able to run out to Walmart and get a couple things done while they are in class. I've been watching the class from behind a two-way mirror and I must admit, it's pretty fun and interesting to watch... after school we went to the pool. We stayed in the inside pool since I was still pretty sore from the burn. When we got to the van after swimming, the thermometer in the car said the car's temperature was 107 degrees. So I started to think Eddie might be ready to leave early and I went to ask him if he wanted to go home. At first he said no, and then he said yes... and then he told me they had air conditioning and were watching a movie! Oh, well! Live and learn. Tomorrow he'll be there for the full day. It's supposed to be cooler anyway. I think Kevin and Ryan and I will be going to the Franklin Park Zoo. Then home for lunch and naps... then get Eddie and then we are meeting up with friends at the pool. Sounds like a good day to me!
