We got home and played inside so we could cool down and then had lunch.
Our playground is open again! It was supposed to rain today, but it wasn’t raining in the morning and when we were in the backyard, the weather felt pretty mild. So Xander got on his bike and I pushed Augustus and we headed to the park. It ended up being a lot more humid than I’d realized, but it was still nice that we could go play.
Xander has been working on a chore chart for a few weeks and he is SO close to the end. He picked out a Power Ranger Megazord, which I ordered on Amazon earlier this week. I thought it was going to take longer to arrive, but it arrived today. Xander was VERY excited and determined to finish the chart today. He helped me clean the bathroom, helped strip beds and put on clean sheets. He cleaned the basement (yelling at Augustus and I the whole time, lecturing us that, “this would go much faster if we all worked as a team!”). He cleaned up toys around the backyard. He ended the day with 2 blank squares, so tomorrow he will get his well earned toy.
It rained all afternoon, but it was barely drizzling after dinner, so I took Axel for a walk. He was NOT having it. The rain had completely stopped by the time we had walked a block, but he still kept stopping and then walking super slow. We didn’t go as far as we usually do, but we made it.
