With all of the dust to be found in Kuwait, sometimes a little lady just has to let out a good sneeze!

Exhibit A: Breakfast Mess
Oatmeal splashed all over the face due to a greedy little hand attacking the spoon.

It has been freakin’ hot in Kuwait. There’s just no other way to describe it without using profanity. It’s kind of like when you’ve been roasting a turkey for 8 hours and you open the oven to have that huge wave of melt-your-eyelashes-together and take-away-your-breath heat hit you in the face. Except that this heat surrounds your entire body. All. day. long. To try and beat the heat, Grae and I went to the Hilton and waded in the cooled and covered pool for a good long while today. Of course, by the time you walk to your car, get everything loaded up, and drive the ten minutes home, you can feel the sweat dripping down your back again. Ugh. 17 days…

Could she be any happier to be rocking?

Today me and my little lady spent a quiet day at home… We had pancakes for breakfast, tidied the apartment, and crashed towers of stacking cups repetitively. This afternoon when Grae woke up from her nap in just her ruffled bum bloomer, she looked too precious to dress. :)

‘I spy with my little eye, something that I want. I have no idea what it is… But I want it anyways.’

‘What is this giant orange thing you’ve given to me?’

Having a bad hair day is frustrating!

‘Hmmm… What shall I do this morning?’

Grae has always been busy. But now that she is able to get around, busy is an understatement. She’s super curious and wants to touch and see everything there is to touch and see. Lately, she’s been yanking books off shelves…

Grae’s been working hard on perfecting her crawl. She sure is motoring around now. Not long ago, she didn’t even know how to get up on all fours, and now she’s cruising around the apartment like she’s known how to crawl all along.

Between Brad’s yearbook being due, my insane tutoring schedule, and preparing for the sale, it’s been a little crazy around here lately. This afternoon, we decided to head to the Hilton for a little relaxation time, just the three of us…

Today was our annual ASK Rummage Sale, where all of the leaving teachers sell their items. While most people lugged all of their stuff down to the courtyard and then baked in the sweltering heat for a couple of hours, we decided to stay in the comfort of our air-conditioned apartment. Gracen roamed around, greeted people and napped through all of the commotion.

Nananananananana… Batgirl!
