Crazy Arizona summer day!

All day today is was in the 100's. I left the house at 3pm to pick Julia up from school and it was lightly raining. By the time I made it to school (2 minute drive), it was POURING. Of course, we Arizonans don't know what to do with ourselves when it rains. The pickup line was 20-30 minutes long. While waiting, I watched 2 large trees get ripped out of the ground and blow across the street! Instead of continuing to wait in the line, I found a place to park and ran to the school building. By the time I made it, I was drenched. It was also windy which made my skirt blow straight up. Everyone got a free show this afternoon! :) Too bad for them that it was a wet, pregnant lady!

As soon as we got home, Julia changed into her comfy winter pjs (she was also drenched). She couldn't wait to curl up and read her new book. She is into Junie B books and I bought her first copy today. It was a surprise for her- she was so happy! She threw her arms around me like I had just given her a puppy. She loves to read. I love this because I was a HUGE reader as a child. I read books while eating, taking a bath, anywhere I could. I read every single Babysitter's Club and Sweet Valley Twins. I found the first Sweet Valley Twin book at a library sale a while back and bought if for Julia in hopes that she would love them as much as I did.
