Up around 6:30 this morning......soooo humid outside that it was foggy, even though the sun quickly burnt it off so that it could shine down on us with all of it's fury. After everyone was up and going......Meghan and I sat at the piano where I began her piano lesson. This time, it was not by rote, but I had purchased the piano books last week.....and so the task of getting her to read the notes. Actually........she did quite well......learning the names were easy for her....and she had already had an introduction to the value of the notes in school!!! And so....the 45 minutes of this teaching went quite well.....she loves it!!! Soooo, tomorrow we will hit it again, but a bit lighter.
Afterwards, the 1st Lady brought out the Slip and Slide....and we all entered the outdoor sauna, which didn't improve as the day wore on. The kids enjoyed the water slide.......and I brought out the patio table umbrella...which for some reason escaped any damage when the tree fell on the table...which was broken and bent. I erected it close to the "water slide" so that we could have a bit of shade from the sun out there in the yard......REMEMBER, we no longer have any trees that make shade!!!
After a bite of lunch, 2 of the 3 were put down for naps.....and then Meghan and "Granny" palyed some games. I also taught her how to play a card game on the computer.....
Dinner was early...and then as the house slowly slipped into a toyland chaos, the kids took their showers and by 9pm....were heading for bed. Oh....of course, they found a mulititude of excuses to get back up.....drinks, another snack, coughing fits(great actresses, they are)...and finally have settled down.
Our a/c has, of course now that it is so humid and hot, decided to not cool down to the temp we set on the thermostat. So, I may have to have it checked tomorrow....if I can get someone to come over and look at it. I did run to WalMart and get a new filter, but that has not done any good......it doesn't want to go below 79 degrees, or so it says. And....it doesn't seem cool enough so believe something is keeping it from cooling down. First time EVER we have experienced a problem with this!!!
Sooooo, another day of squeals, a few tears now and then, and lots of laughter.....and, as always.....
LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!
