I love basements

The tempature outside is 29 degrees but feels like 37 degrees. The girls and I are "chilling" in the basement. I am so happy we set up the basement to have a play area for Kira, a living room area (equiped with tv and surround sound), a table for eating at, and a office. All it needs now is a small kitchen and a bathroom and we would have it made!

Kira and I are beating the heat by "play" baking, making a card for my mother-in-law's birthday today (lesson learned: don't get married on your one of your parents birthdays), eating every kind of healthy/non-healthy food that does not involve cooking, colouring, doing laundry (another lesson learned: you get more laundry done when you are on the same floor as the washer/dryer because it is no longer "out of site out, of mind"), being on the computer, and reading tons of stories.

Celeste just finally, after 5 hours of fighting sleeping in the playpen, fell asleep. The best thing about that is she put herself to sleep while in the playpen. Yeah, I feel it is a great acomplishment. Crouds should be cheering now. Yeah

The kids and I have too been spending a lot of time in our basement. Thank goodness for them...they are definitely a saving grace. It's been a lot cooler and last night we even ate our supper of barbecued hamburgers in the basement and enjoyed watching a movie. That's not a regular occurence, but, when it's as hot as it's been, it's definitely a fun change!
