Too Hot To Do Anything!

Too hot to clean, too hot to cook, and sadly too hot to crochet and blog; this explains my Internet absence. Here in sunny California it's been too sunny on and off for the last week and the last two days have felt like hell (in my opinion). I am so SICK of this HEAT WAVE! It doesn't feel like Fall at all. My boys are off of school tomorrow and I really wanted to take them out to the apple orchard farms in Yucaipa, but it's even hotter there so FORGET ABOUT. Terrible, just terrible. Okay, enough wining about that!



Crochet Update: I began making a sweater with this very pretty blue/green Homespun yarn (photo below) that I had just lying around a couple of weeks ago now. Once again, I ran out of yarn and have yet to make time to run over to my local craft store. So I began crocheting a cowl neck poncho (top photo) that I'm making up as I go along (I'm praying it turns out), but considering the fact that I'm using a small size hook and one strand of yarn I probably won't be able to wear it until Fall 2009. Why is it that it seems like such a great idea and a piece of cake in your head, but once you start the process you realize your head must be warped because it CLEARLY isn't!







Regarding the kids: My daughter's 2nd birthday is at the end of this month and for the past couple of weeks she has been a TERROR. She will not play with her toys, but would rather touch everything she KNOWS she isn't suppose to, like the water dispenser from the fridge (mental note: go lock it now), turning on the coffee pot, trying to wash dishes, putting her PJs in the washer while a load is in the process, putting on my makeup, etc.; and today, a new one, jumping off the ottoman onto the pillow she placed on the floor which bounces her onto the couch! Clearly having two older brothers has GREATLY influenced her. I'm sure my other two were this crazy, I just don't remember it, plus they are boys so they could care less about cleaning up or putting make up on. So after catching her in mid flight, I realized she was in dire need of some attention so we colored together which was a blast and something her brothers would never have enjoyed doing. I took a picture of her, but it turned out super blurry. :(

Bouncing on pillows onto the couch is definitely something my kid does! He actually does all of the above and I have even thought about getting him his own play coffee pot, because right now he is obsessed with coffee. Every drink he asks if it is coffee?
