Hot, hot, hot!

Summer has arrived in Southern California. While it was in the 60s and cloudy on Monday, on Thursday it was nearly 100! Today and this weekend promise more of the same. That means hanging out at the pool, which Cora and I will be doing Friday afternoon, and playing at the mall's indoor playground.
Cora has played there several times in the last week, including this trip with Daddy last week. We also met a friend there Thursday morning with her two-year-old daughter. Cora gets excited and points when she sees the play area coming into view.
This week, we had our last MOPS meeting of the semester. Today we're having a lunch date with the moms and kids from our table at one of the mom's homes. She has a pool, perfect for today's heat. Cora is going to have a great time. She really loves the water, and points and gets excited whenever shes sees a pool. Earlier in the week, we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for dinner to celebrate Mother's Day, and Cora played in the spa. She loved that.
Cora has been very affectionate with me the last couple of days. She climbs in my lap and gives me kisses and hugs. She also is very affectionate with Somer. We just wish she'd show more love to her daddy. She loves playing with him, but at this point, obviously sees Stace as the parent she can be more rough-and-tumble with. He doesn't really get kisses. More like, scratches and face-yanking. Not very nice.
In other news, our househunt has been put on hold. The person who was going to buy our condo has pulled out because she couldn't get her financing together. We're back on the market, and having to keep the place tidy in case a prospective buyer wants to come through.
