Well, after a long night last night, the Legislature passed all of the budget bills, and it looked like the shutdown would end today. The Governor signed all of the bills this morning, and with that, everything was over. I received my call back to work (to return tomorrow) around 11:00AM, and I joyfully exclaimed that I would NOT be returning until Monday. Thankfully, I had a planned “vacation” the rest of the week!
Today was HOT, HOT, HOT, the hottest day yet. The heat index reached 120 today, ouch. Luckily, it was quite windy out which I think made it not so miserable. The girls and I braved it, and I took them off to the sprinkler park to enjoy our “last” day together. The wind was really a lifesaver there, because there was a nice mist going on all around. Amelia again loved the water, but Olivia didn’t want much to do with it. So, she played on the playground for a while instead. Finally, they were worn out and hot enough, so we packed it up for the day. I stopped to get some lunch on the way, and Amelia fell asleep pretty much the second I got her in the truck. So, she took a short nap while we ate and I got Olivia down for her nap. That was basically our day. Amelia ended up taking another short nap later in the day, so I had a little alone time with each of them, which was nice.
Once Christian was home, we ate some dinner and hung out for a while. He took the next two days off work, so I’m looking forward to hanging out with him for a few days, and spending some time getting ready for the party this weekend. Here are some pics from the sprinkler park.
