It was ridiculously hot today. It was so hot me and the kids were all suffering from some serious moodiness trecking to and from the theater and the library. Our car felt a million times hotter than a sauna and in general I was pretty darn pissed about having to live in Arizona for yet another summer. Blasted job/moving crap, I just want out of this place!
Whew, got that off my chest!
We did have fun at the movies and we had fun at the library. The dollar theater has Return from Planet Earth playing this week and that’s what we saw and my kids loved it! I wasn’t expecting much from the movie based on the trailer but all four of them were laughing throughout the whole thing. Nice. 
After the movie the kids played with the quarter machine games even though I didn’t have quarters. Ember was especially into the gun games. I had to wonder if it was because there were guns in the movie that she found them interesting today.
She knows nothing about guns and when she pointed one to shoot, instead of bang, bang! She said, “Boom, boom, boom!” 
We got the papers and a bunch of books to start reading for the summer reading program. I can NOT believe another summer reading program is here. It seriously feels like just last month was summer!
Ember had a blast at the library, like she always does 🙂
Payson had a blast, too. He had fun climbing on this particular area. Until his little sister came and he freaked out, “She’s ruining my trick! She’s in the way and I was here first!”
So she scooted out of there but kept popping her head back in. 
She’s been really into kitchens this year. Ours at home and this one at the library. She was SO adorable washing dishes and food. 
Payson turned the wheel of this contraption to find each of the first letters in our family’s names. 
He was looking at the ‘P’ in this picture. 
Payson took the next few using the timer on my camera. BOY does he love that!! I really need to use that trick more often. I’d get him his own kid camera for his birthday but they’re so expensive for such crap quality! 
I’ll end this post with some pictures of Ember from last night. She was cracking up over her hair in her face. Her long bangs are a cause of a lot of joking around between us. It’s funny and she gets a kick out of it every time!
