a cloud-covered report

Grey skies this morning! The last couple of days have been a nice break from the 110+ temperatures we've been having. Things have been a steady stream of busy. But I'm getting to the end of my list. Soon to be completed: s.l.o.w.d.o.w.n. But I feel on track to have everything done that we need before this little girl comes in a month. This is good, because once we have her with us, the only thing on my list will be nothing. :) I'm looking forward to that .


In the community where we are buying our house, each housing parcel has a tented play ground, or a climbing wall, or a splash park etc. built in. There is a play group in our ward that meets at one of the splash parks every Wednesday and we joined in yesterday. The kids are so excited to get moved in and make these new friends and festivities part of their everyday life.


In the meantime, I try to get the kids out of the apartment in the mornings before the mercury climbs to high. We go to the play place in the mall, or up to the new house to meet with the painter/landscaper/pool designer who is giving us a bid that day. Most days we walk over to the pool here and play. Gracie has started swimming without her floaties. Grant will swim and jump off the side of the pool, but is most happy when he can push his cars around, big surprise. I do my best to keep them entertained without looking too enormous. Seriously. I've got about 5 weeks left and my wardrobe options are dropping like flies. At least my swimsuit still fits. :)

Glad to hear that things are going smoothly and you will be able to slow down soon. That you are doing all this being eight months pregnant makes me extremely tired! It sounds like you guys are building a new house, or remodeling perhaps? Sounds exciting!

Saw your mom's comment...Happy Birthday yesterday! Hope it was happy!

I hope the next few weeks go by fast for you! The very end seems like the longest part of pregnancy don't they? There are some days I wish my belly would be just a little bigger cause most of my clothes are still to big. And the splash parks are so fun. Santaquin has one that we went to for the first time a couple of days ago. So much fun! Love you guys!
