July has been so cold ... August turned out like summer. But when it rains, it pours, right ??
It finally warmed up to t-shirt weather. We went biking with Malú, to the playground and she just played outside a lot. But then it turned really HOT with temps up to 37 celsius / 99 F. We do not have aircon in our house. We kept everything closed up during the day, but it still warmed up inside in the end and we couldn't sleep well anymore.
Anouk went to kindergarten for the first time on 13 Aug. All went well. We picked her up from her new "school" for the first time on Wednesday. Malú is now also eager to go to school, because of Anouk.
Malú always took an afternoon nap at daycare, but she decided that's over with. There are a couple more kids her age, who don't nap anymore, so she also stays awake and plays. She had to get used to that at first, because she was absolutely exhausted when she came home, crying over the silliest things.
My godfather uncle Leo (my dad's brother) turned 75 on 23 Aug. We went to celebrate a day early. My sister Wendy had a meeting at school, so I picked up Anouk and all 3 of us (Anouk, Malú and I) went to uncle Leo's birthday. We sat outside and had a great time.
Herbert had to get a part in his car replaced (not sure what the word is in English), but it totally went wrong and he couldn't use his car at all. So Herbert used my car and on the days I worked, we all went in my car, dropped Malú off at daycare, drove to my work, then Herbert took it and drove to his work. I drove back with a co-worker. Almost after almost 3 weeks, his car was finally fixed and I could use my car again whenever I wanted it. Such a luxury problem, but if you are used to having 2 cars, it's such a bummer if 1 breaks down
One day, Malú and I went downtown and I got a lot of stuff at the drugstore and I told Malú the bag was heavy. Malú responded: "then don't buy so much". So much logic to this.
Love, Astrid xx
