I've officially discovered that I don't do well at this point in pregnancy (37 weeks today) when extreme heat and/or humidity is involved. It was in the 90s yesterday with dewpoints in the 70s, one of those days where you start sweating as soon as you step outside. In the afternoon, we took Accalia to gymnastics and ballet. Ella had fallen asleep shortly before we had to leave, so I carried her outside to the van without her even waking up. Then she slept through dropping Accalia off and me getting her out of the van and bringing her back inside. I don't know if it was a combination of the heat, humidity and carrying around 40 plus pounds of dead weight, but I promptly threw up once I had set Ella back down to sleep. Maybe I was a little bit dehydrated and didn't realize it. At any rate, today is supposed to feel a bit better outside.

Accalia and Cole played out in the sprinkler while Cory watered the garden and plants last night. A lot of things are blooming later this year simply because we didn't get around to planting until late May or early June. We'll see what we get out of the garden. We have pumpkin plants galore (with one huge sunflower plant in the middle of the pumpkin patch by the shed), tomatoes, peppers, turnips (purple tops just like Cole's beloved Grandma Lena's Big Old Turnip), carrots and a couple scraggly swiss chard plants. I don't know what will happen with the carrots because they were planted too closely to the turnips and probably don't have enough room or sun. The swiss chard has been a favorite of the rabbits, so I'm not sure if we'll be able to keep those all safe. Other than that, though, we should have some good veggies ready to go next month.

Accalia has her last day of the Buggin' Around program at the library, a program focusing on the insect world and geared for grades 1-4. She opted out of going last week. The last few sessions have consisted mainly of doing things like looking through books or watching movies on the topic, and it started out with a lot of hands on activities like searching through mud from the creek or making your own worm farm. I think Accalia's been turned off by the change in the direction, but I think she wants to go for the last session. Then we all go to the chiropractor and are very happy about that.

I should try to pick up in the living room before the kids are awake. It's filled with legos and action figures and Pokemon cards.
