8/14/10 - Back to the Car

Well, it's back to working on the car for Christian. I swear, it's just one thing after another. I'm beginning to hate that car! Christian was checking it out the other night and noticed that it was sparking under the hood...which apparently it's not supposed to do, so he and his dad are going to do some more work on it.

My mom came over to help me with the girls this morning, and Christian headed over to his parents' house with the car. We girls hung out by the pool for a while...it was again really humid today, but today is supposed to be the last of the extreme heat for a while...fingers crossed! After some pool time, we played inside, and my mom was on her way. I got the girls down for their naps (go me!), and parked myself on the couch for a while. Peace and quiet!

Christian and his dad got to work on the car. They replaced some kind of wires and the distributor cap (as if I know what that is). It took them a really long time to do - he still wasn't home when the girls woke up from their naps. So, I was on my own! Luckily Olivia was pretty well behaved...I fed her lunch (AND she actually ate!), then she played while I took care of Amelia. Thank goodness!

Christian finally got home at dinner time and fired up the grill. We ate a quick dinner, hung out, got ready for bed and that was that. Another busy day done. But, at around 12:30 Christian woke me up to inform me that the car had started itself (in the garage on top of that)...so that was a little crazy. And, it was still sparking a little bit. But, the initial problem seems to be fixed. Man, did I mention I hate cars?!?

Here is a cute picture of the girls, snuggling on the couch together :)
