Too Darn Hot

It is too darn hot. Ryan and I went to "do the roses" this morning at the Fairgrounds. There are 7 big rose bushes and 13 minature roses. Every two weeks I have to go and dehead them, weed, and spray fungicide. We went at 9 am. Ryan sat in the stroller in the shade and was fine, but I was sweating like a pig. They had the fountain going in Pioneer Plaza, and I was tempted to run through it. By the way, the car is fixed! Hallelujah! It was the crank shaft sensor. Who knew? So, Ryan and I steamed down I-235 this morning with confidence.

Then we went to WalMart. We were out of everything. Seriously. It took 2 hours and 300 bucks and stuff was falling out of the cart in the parking lot, but we are set. We were both hot and cranky by the time we got home. Later Ryan "swam" in his pool for about 30 minutes. He also spit up in it, which was pretty gross. Then we went to Eric's birthday party. We spent the whole time inside with Rachel and the boys. I think Anthony was more excited to see Ryan than Ryan was to see Anthony. Of course, Ryan only slept an hour today, so that could have been why he wasn't as playful as Anthony. He did enjoy doing his army crawl up and down Rachel's hallway though. Then we went to Babies R Us to buy a baby gate for the dining room. Ryan has really taken off in the past 24 hours, so I knew if I didn't buy it tonight, I would go crazy tomorrow chasing him. The baby gate was expensive since the opening is 6.5 feet, but he has already almost gone headfirst over the step, so I'm sure it will be worth it. Now I just have to put it together. Ugh.

Oh, he has also turned into a naughty boy. He keeps trying to play with the cord on the lamp, and when we tell him no, smack his hand, and move him, he just laughs at us!
