Feelin' Hot, Hot, Hot!

It has really been a heat wave here in the Bay! It has even gotten up to 100 degrees in SF. Here in Oakland it's been in the upper 90s, and I will remind you that we (along with most others) do not have air conditioning! We did go out and get another fan over the weekend which was a good thing! We set two fans up in Adeline's room and filled large buckets with ice from the grocery store. In all we went through seven 20 pound bags! Will ended up leaving on Tuesday for Florida, which left me in charge of procuring the ice, but Adeline and I managed to make it work and kept her room cool. (Her monitor was reading 98 degrees which I think is the max it records anyway! So hot!)

During the day kept cool by spending a lot of time at Target, Ikea, Safeway, and eating strawberries in front of the fridge!




Here's the ice set up in Adeline's room:


After Adeline went to bed I went out to the patio to get some fresh air. This little guy even joined me!

She wasn't hungry, wasn't sick, and doesn't even have a tooth coming through yet. I guess she just needed some Mama cuddles. Though I missed having my "break" to do things like shower, eat, ya know, no big deal, I reminded myself that someday in the not-so-distant future I'll be longing for these days of holding her in my arms while she sleeps. So, we enjoyed a very slow paced day around the house filled with snuggles. In between the rocking chair naps we did get in a little fun playtime though!

Happy Halloween!

Even though last year was technically Adeline's first Halloween, this year felt like the first true Halloween because we got to go out and enjoy the festivities! The Temescal Business District hosted a Trick-or-Treating event for the kids and had fun activities along the way like free books from the library, story time, a dance party at the yoga studio, costume contests, and more I'm sure but we only made it a few blocks! We had a great time and the businesses were so generous and kind to the kids. Our little ladybug! She would only wear the wings from her costume, but she held on to the wand and headband. There was a fun skirt, too but she didn't want anything to do with it. Oh well. People still thought she was cute! Getting some raisins. Still trying to understand the concept of Trick-or-Treating! Dance party at the yoga studio. Aunt Mary's Cafe made fresh baked "Witches Fingers." Adeline loved hers but we got stuck in the B
