Our Week in Review
- The Mr. and I spent memorial day hanging gladiator tracks in our garage. We got most every thing hung and organized and for the first time since we moved in, both cars can be parked in the garage. We really know how party for the holidays.
- Our neighborhood pool finally opened this week and we have gone to it every evening. So glad we have something to cool off in.
- It's getting so HOT. I might hate Utah winters but this Houston heat is unbearable at times. I made the mistake of going grocery shopping in the middle of the afternoon. By the time we were done shopping it was somewhere around 1:00pm. Just loading the groceries from the cart to the car was making me curse and sweat like a mad woman. Once I was in my car I cranked up the AC only to discover it was blowing even hotter air that was suffocating. It took 3 or so minutes before the AC went from hot to warm and then it took it about another 3 minutes to become slightly cool. In the meanwhile I prayed we wouldn't suffocate or sweat to death from the HEAT, it was awful. Poor Isaac was such a slimy sweaty mess, when I got him out of his car seat, that I wanted to cry for him.
- I joined a bunch of ladies from my ward who are doing a biggest losers competition. The challenge lasts 12 weeks. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it.
- The kids and I joined some friends on a Texas Nature Challenge. We drove out to Brenham Texas and took a tour of the Blue Bell Ice Cream Factory. It was a short and interesting tour, but the best part of it all was the pretty decent sized scoop of ice cream everyone received at the end of the tour. I had red velvet cake, Dylan had sherbet, Livie asked for cotton candy, and Isaac got cookie dough. The red velvet was delicious (and not much help when your trying to be the biggest loser, but I really wanted to try it.)
- As part of the Nature Challenge, the kids and I were supposed to do some research on pollinators (which we didn't do, we are still learning about the Texas Nature Challenges) . After the ice cream tour we went to visit a garden and butterfly park just down the road, to see pollinators in action and connect how pollinators are important to the ice cream factory. Mother nature had other plans in mind for us because when we pulled into the garden it started to rain. We ran to a pavilion and had lunch and did our best to look around the gardens but the rain was pretty persistent. Although we didn't see many pollinators in the rain, I was ever so grateful that we weren't baking in the sun. So for me it was a great experience. The group of kids really enjoyed each others company and everyone got along really well, so it made everything that much better. I loved the drive out to Brenham, and back as well, it was so pretty. I've heard when the blue bonnets and the blue bells are blooming that it's breathtaking out there.
- Dylan had his last day of third grade this week. Summer has finally begun here at the Giovannoni household. So far so good, thanks to the neighborhood pool, we spend a lot of time there.
- Saturday night I went grocery shopping at 8:30pm and the outside temperature was 91 degrees.
