We're having (what I think is) record warm weather this week here in San Diego. The temps are reaching the high 70's to low 80's. I say that that "I think" it's record temps because I actually have no clue. I never get a chance to watch the news/weather/etc these days. All I know is that it's January and it's warm and beautiful out! On top of that, the other fabulous piece to the puzzle is that I we have our very own live -in "manny" staying with us this week! Yes! Thom Hines (Myke's father) stayed on an extra 5 days after Myke's mom left to help us out. It has been great- I've gotten to run quite a few errands on my own - sans kids! It's so much faster and more relaxed that way. On top of that, Myke and I have had doctor or dentist appointments almost every day this week. You gotta fit 'em in while you have the help! Otherwise it's a big ordeal just to get your teeth cleaned (finding a sitter who can com sporadically during the weekdays for an hour or two, paying a sitter, etc...or Myke has to take off work..and as a contract worker that is no bueno. No paid time off there!)
I've also been able to give the kids a bit more one-on-one time with the extra set of hands around. On Monday I took Chloë to a nearby pool for a few hours. It has been months (or longer) since we had been in the water and it was a blast! Great mother-daughter time. I miss that time with her....
Is this January?!
Lounging with her juice box treat. Sporting her ("Cars") floaties!
And we topped it off with ice cream! What a day!
MEANWHILE....(While we're off having fun in the sun....):
Our manny hard at work with a tandem feed!
The boys playing with one of their Christmas gifts.
One of the only ways to keep these guys contained!
