This weekend was a nice 3 day weekend. I have enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I figured Gabriel would work outside all weekend and I would have Brigitte inside just like any other day. The wind has been crazy all weekend! It really is annoying. Brigitte wants to go outside but then gets out and feels the wind and goes running back into the garage. All this week we couldn't go outside because the wind was blowing so hard. She was getting knocked down. The sand coming at you at at least 30mph has a little sting to it too! However, on Monday the wind did die down and Brigitte went to Lowes with daddy and played in her pool while daddy worked so I kind of got a break! I was able to clean and relax. I would just have to go out and give them drinks and refill the pool.
These pictures are actually from after Brigitte's nap. She spent ALL morning outside playing in her pool too. She did finally get out around 11 and wanted daddy to hold her. So the sun and heat wore her out I think. She came inside and I gave her a bath (which my sink is now full of sand!) She was tired but not ready for a nap, so we put on her favorite Kidsongs video and ate a snack. After her show was over she told me binky which meant she was ready for a nap! She took a very short 1 1/2 hour nap. The first thing she did when I went to get her was say "daddy" and ran to her window to see if he was still outside. So she saw he was outside and ran and got her shoes. Well she was not dressed to go outside so I had to find her another junky swim suite (the sand ruins her nice ones) and off to the door she went. She wouldn't even stop for a drink. So I still made her take one out there but she didn't start drinking until she was outside and sure that she was staying outside!
This girl is going to be one wore out girl tonight. She hasn't ate any lunch only the pretzels she ate before her nap and lots of water. At least she got a semi good breakfast!
So my summer future has been told for me. I can see my fat pregnant self sitting outside or at our city splash park most of the summer. Hopefully it won't be too hot and she will let me sit in her pool with her!
Brigitte wasn't much help because she was more interested in playing with the water than helping daddy but at least she was having fun.
Trying to shield her face from the sand! Poor girl!
Finally listening to daddy and washing Grace!
Taking a break. This is very unusual because she is normal standing right in front of the TV dancng so I knew she was tired!
Her "beach front" pool.
Finally starting to drink something!
For whatever reason all she wants to do is put as much sand as she can in her pool. I think maybe it is because she likes to play in wet sand not dry sand but who knows! This is why I have to refill the pool. After awhile she wants "clean" water.
Daddy hard at work! He is working on puttng some stairs down our hill.
