Everything isn't hot anymore!

This morning I woke up with Jake about 6:15 and couldn't go back to sleep. I started thinking about all my to-dos, which have become pretty daunting being pregnant in this heat with three little kids in tow all summer. Simple running around doesn't feel very simple.

So I got up, got Jake's shoes on and we headed out for an early Walmart trip while daddy and the other's slept. It worked out delightfully. I was able to round up a full cart of groceries, school stuff and birthday party stuff in company with one little helper and we were done by 7:30.

In the parking lot on the way out Jacob stopped in his tracks, bent down and placed his open palm on the pavement. I worried, "Jakey, honey. Stand up. What are you doing?" And he looked up in amazment at the sky and then the road around him and said, "Mom, everything isn't hot anymore!"

It was a classic moment. It was nice to know that even he enjoyed getting our errands done before the heat cranked up!
(it was about 88 degrees at that point, now at 2pm we're pushing 108)
