Lazy Dog Days

lazydog-0612

Again, it's crazy hot here. I'm dripping in sweat in the dusk just writing this. After a trip to the library (bonus, it's air conditioned), we went to a friend's house. The kids played on a slip 'n slide and inflatable pool, while my friend and I sat on outdoor chairs spraying cold water on ourselves. H was invited to spend the night there, and C's been moping around feeling all sorry for himself. He refuses to eat when H is not around. It's crazy. We are just waiting for Brian to come home. It was his last day at his company, and he starts a new job tomorrow (still in the Milwaukee area)! The whole thing is bittersweet. He really liked where he was at -- he had interesting clients, it was a good company, and he got along really well with his co-workers. Plus, he wasn't there that long, and it absolutely kills him to be leaving so soon. But an opportunity presented himself, that he had to take. We are very, very proud of him. It will be exciting for him.

P.S. In case you were wondering, why yes, we do keep air mattresses out on our porch all summer. Brian and the boys camp out here quite regularly (although, the basement is the preferred place when temperatures are as high as it is right now), and until we have real outdoor furniture, there's certainly plenty of space. We actually hang out here quite a bit. Clearly, Storm thinks the space belongs to him.
