MORE SUMMER FUN

Our day started off with swimming lessons then a trip to the library for our weekly date with Erin and her family. We were planning to go on a picnic afterwards but Janet said that the park she was planning to take us to does not have any shade and man oh man is it hot up here today. We also have an overcast of clouds too which makes it humid also.

Therefore after the library mama and Mimi did some grocery shopping before coming home eating out sushi in the car. This afternoon Mimi went over to Erin's house for a while to play in the wading pool while mama played with her new gadget/toy (pool vacuum) cleanning out our pool. Before we knew it, it was 2:30 p.m. YIKES! Where does the time go nowadays. Mimi came home and she and Blake played in the pool for a while.

Then it was time to go over to the park. A new playset is being installed as we speak. The kids are just real thrilled about it and cannot wait to play on it. In the meantime Mimi was becoming increasingly grumpy. Mama knew that Mimi was not feeling well but at the same time she absolutely hates to miss out on any fun just like the rest of us. Mimi still takes naps now and then. Today was one of those days. Boy did she raise a ruckus all the way home. "I AM NOT TIRED!!!" says Mimi. Then when mama put her to bed she yells "STOP SINGING!!! I WANT NOTHING!!!" Mimi is definitly one Chengdu Chili Pepper and I love it. She kind of spices things up for us. Mama asked if she was tired and the answer was you guessed it "NO!" Then mama asked if she was mad, again the answer was "NO!" By this time mama knew that Mimi was absolutely tired and most likely not feeling well. So she was able to get Mimi to calm down and go to sleep. Mimi has been asleep for the past hour or so. We were planning to go back to the library to hear a free concert that has a pirate theme to it. Right up Mimi's alley, but at this point I don't think we are going to make it. Oh well que sera sera.
