How We Beat the Heat

As you all know, it was H-O-T hot here not too long ago. Outside topped out just over 104 and inside hit just over 90. I do NOT like hot weather. Anything temperature starting with a 9 is just too much more me. Work sucked too. Being stuck in a little place with lots of machines running and no airflow is about the worst thing. It was at least in 90-100 degree range by 7 am everyday. I guess it made the 90 degree house seem cooler :) The kids didn't fare well either. Both were super cranky and miserable. We did get a new pool and ended up putting a canopy over it to keep the baby pool shaded but it was still a little hot to even go outdoors. Sleeping was tough too, the upstairs in our house was so hot at night but they soldiered on and ended up sleeping every night. No cooking, cleaning or laundry was done for days so we subsisted on fruit and Otter Pops and wearing minimal clothing. All of which left not much to clean up once the temperature came back down to a reasonable level.

Here's how we beat the heat.....

#1 - strip down and play video games while 3 fans are blowing on you

#2 - dance in your undies with your sister

#3 - watch movies in your diaper
#4 - pretend you are somewhere fun, like Mardi Gras, while wearing just a diaper

#5 - play in the pool...A LOT

#6 - show Mom how your feet can float.

PS. you can only hear "watch me mom" 286 times before going insane.

My favorite new picture of Abigail!

#7 - fall asleep under the fan

#8 - get nakey in front of a fan. MY FAVORITE!!!!!!
