After some breakfast, hanging out and a quick little rain storm, we got *slightly* ready, and went on a nice long walk to enjoy the weather. The girls loved being out, eating their snacks and walking around the neighborhood. I, was sweating my butt off, so I suppose that's good for me! We finally arrived home, and we were all pretty hot, sweaty and tired, so we relaxed for a while. We continued to get little rain storms on and off all day, but it never provided any relief from the heat. Christian had filled the pool before he left for work, and finally by late afternoon, naps were over, the rain had stopped and we spent some time outside splashing around. Amelia tried out the "water slide", and thought it was hilarious, so that was fun to watch. They were finally worn out and done with the water, so we headed inside, got dressed, and ate a late lunch.
Christian finally arrived home, finally on time (YAY for no OT for a change!), we ordered some take out and hung out the rest of the night. He did come home with some interesting news. His work approached him about working in Eau Claire all week...and seeing that they work 2-10, he'd have to stay out there because it really wouldn't make sense to drive back, and get home at midnight, for nothing. I was not thrilled at the idea of single parenting for the whole week on top of work, but, his work is a little different that your run of the mill workplace. There, if they "ask" you to do something, they aren't really asking. They have a reason for choosing you, and you kind of have to do it unless you have a compelling reason not to. Plus, it does speak volumes that they chose him, and it can only help his position in the company to do it, so while they gave him the weekend to consider it, he most likely will be doing it. They actually presented the idea of him moving out to that warehouse. Now that, will not happen. He would have to stay out there every week, and I'm just not down for that.
He also came home with a sore tooth...at his last dentist visit, they again approached him about having his wisdom teeth removed, and he hasn't yet, and he's thinking one of them is pushing his other tooth out of place. So, apparently he'll be having them removed VERY soon. Ouch. I had all 4 of mine removed a few years ago, and I was not a fan. I actually had to be put to sleep beacuse I was so freaked out by it. Gross.
After the girls went to bed, we spent the evening doing some random things. I ordered tickets to a comedy improv show we're going to for my birthday next weekend, and ordered tickets to the Father's Day Twins game, which we're really excited about. It's kind of our tradition, and the girls are going to love it. We also spent some time researching baby monitors...the one we had crapped out on us a long time ago...so, we're using a very old school video monitor somebody gave us, that only works half the time (and, we can't take it outside or around the house with us). So, it's time for a new one. We're sticking with a video monitor, because with both the girls in the room, it's nice being able to really see what's going on. I think we found the one we're going with (here), it can pan the room and everything, so we have to order that soon.
So, lots of fun things coming up, and I'm really excited. Here are some swimming pictures from today.
