Why the Reds stadium is so nice, great view of the boats on the lake.

Another ball game and this one was hot and miserable! We stuck it out until the 7th inning and the best part of the game was leaving.
Eva and Ella dancing to a singing frog, actually Eva's dancing and Ella's laughing at her. It was so cute, I definitely got in my laughing medicine for the day.

Eva feeding the ducks! We didn't get too many pics because those ducks got really close, they were taking the bread right out of our hands and I was a little scared they were gonna bite or snap at the girls so we got the heck out of there.

So since we have gotten back its been so hot here, like in the 90's almost everyday and coming from ND where it was in the 60's it has been a hard adjustment. We set up the pool and Eva still does not like it. We had a playdate with some friends 2 days and basically stayed home so we could get back into normal schedule. I had a moms banquet Thursday evening and it felt great to get away for awhile. We went to another baseball game on Sunday and it was 86 degrees and sunny with no wind so it was miserable and then we got home last night to NO A/C so had to figure out what to do to fix it. So must responsibility, I'm still glad we don't own this house, definitely less stress. Today it works on and off and hopefully tomorrow someone will be here to fix it.

On Saturday in the grocery store I had grabbed a frozen bag of chicken out of the freezer and had pretended to throw at Eva because thats what Evan always does and she flinches and then giggles. Well I actually did chuck the bag of chicken at her face, it slipped right out of my hands. I felt so bad and was thankful that noone was in the aisle because they would have definitely turned me into social services. So after her screaming/crying for a few minutes and a swollen lip we finished our shopping trip and I vowed to myself that I would never PRETEND to throw anything at her, especially her face. Worse mom of the year! Oh and something else to add to that, we were driving to a playdate which was in the country so the road was very narrow and I turned around to look at Eva and I went off onto the side grassy part of the road, scared the crap out of me. I then proceeded to calmy explain to the girls that mommy needs to focus on driving instead of tending to their needs and that we could get very very hurt if we get into an accident. Ella could tell I was upset and just kept saying "it's okay mommy it was just an accident." What a cutie trying to comfort her mommy! So another lesson learned this week- drive with limited distractions! So we had a great week, the girls are still best friends and hopefully will continue that relationship for the rest of their life. They giggle at and with each other so much, I love it! It's so fun to watch them!
