Feelin' Hot, Hot, Hot!

Boy, are we enjoying our new basement in this Seattle heat!  (It's in the high 80s/low 90s.) It's much cooler down here, and it's nice to have a new space to hang out in. The girls' room is all set up, and right next to it we have a small TV room with a guest bed. 

Emma stays (and looks!) cool in her sunglasses and hat.  She was such a good sport to wear them!

Mia wanted nothing to do with her hat and glasses, but looked very cute anyway.

We're learning that hot, sunny days aren't too conducive to having small babies.  This time last year, Matt and I would have been basking in the sun any chance we got.  But now, we need to limit the time and make sure everyone is protected. We took the girls out for a walk to Market Street this morning before it got too hot. (We were supposed to meet a nanny candidate, but she didn't show.  That's another story.) It was still quite warm in the morning and we had to cover the girls' stroller seats with blankets to protect them from the sun.  Then they get hot and can't see and don't like it.  So we hung out at home and tried to stay cool the rest of the day. Lots of fans, cool washcloths, and spray bottle misters were in order to beat the heat. And of course, some absolutely adorable shorts and tank top outfits for the girls. Next year we'll be off to the wading pool for sure! 

Mia and Emma kick around on their play mat.

Emma focuses on catching her toys. 

Mia chills out on her boppy on the couch.

It's supposed to cool down a little tomorrow and the rest of the week. It sure beats the rainy, gray days, but something in the middle would be nice.
