a little bit cooler weather!

I can't say it is cool outside here in Louisiana yet but it is cooler than it typically is.  And by that, I mean instead of 97 degrees, it is 87-91 degrees given the time of day.  The humidity must be lower too because we aren't melting as soon as we step outside, it is nice in the shade and there has been a light breeze.  We have been trying to take advantage of this but I have to tell you, I'm craving real fall weather.
Yesterday the kids and I hung out outside for a while in the afternoon.  Susanna was particularly ornery after her nap which isn't really typical of her.  She cried when I changed her out of her pjs at 4:30pm, cried when I tried to open her new bubbles because she thought I was taking them, she cried when I cut her popsicle wrapper down a little so it wouldn't slide down every time I pushed it up, and she cried when her popsicle was gone.  It was interesting.  I don't even want to know what the neighbors thought.  Drew tends to get really calm and sweet when she acts all crazy like that, which is so helpful to me.  I love that kid.

 If you look closely, you might see a tear still on the corner of her right eye.  She was having a bi-polar kind of day!

At the end of it, she had snot, bubbles, popsicle juice and dirt on her face.  

When Mike got home, we decided to go for a walk around the neighborhood.  Both kids are branching out and would rather run in front of the wagon instead of ride in it.  I think I might still bring it along though because toward the end, they get back in.  All that running is exhausting.  Thankfully, Susanna gave me a break from empty-wagon-pulling.  Its a tough job ;)

We met some new kids.  Drew is such a social little guy.  You'd think they were old friends, right?  Precious boy...I hope he never loses that.  And I guess if you know his dad, he won't have much of a problem!

I hope this weather sticks around and maybe, just maybe, it will get even cooler!
