..When You're Tired..

...You sleep anywhere!

My kids have always napped in strange places and in odd positions.  I assume most kids do.  When you play that hard and your body says it's nap time, it happens regardless of where you are.

For Ryland, there is clearly no exception to that rule.

Even if that place is under the porch.  With the dogs, and the bugs.  In the dirt.

What can I say?! He is ALL boy and he plays hard.

..Shopping Fun..

See that new button over on my side bar?  If you like to craft or create and you like getting crafty mail, it's the place for you, so go check it out! It's called Whoopdwhoop! Hope to see you there.

..HOT..

It's been HOT in Missouri this summer.

I mean 95-98 plus humidity HOT for nearly 2 months now.  And if you're familiar with humidity you know what kind of HOT I'm talking about.  It's  MISERABLE!  For once I agree that we live in "Misery" as my family likes to call Missouri.  Our heat indexes have been around 105 degrees.

If you don't know humidity, let me just tell you this.  Back in June, while we were in Utah, Nelson and I ran away to Vegas for our 10th anniversary.  Most of you will remember that we used to live there.  It's hot there.  When we lived there I hated it.  When we arrived, it was 110 degrees.  But, I was perfectly comfortable.  It's not hot there like it's HOT here.  We laughed comically at all the passerby's as they moaned and groaned about the heat as we commented that the "breeze" felt quite nice and the heat was actually surprisingly pleasant.  Vegas is not HOT.  Missouri in 90 plus with 70 plus humidity is HOT!  I'm glad I don't live in Texas!  (Is it HOT in Texas Whit? I've heard it's HOT HOT.)

This is how my children are surviving the HOT summer.  (I'm praying for an early fall, since we got cheated of our pleasant spring and mild early summer.)
