It's hot...

We are having a heat spell. It's pretty unbearable in the afternoons (which is when I would normally post something) so I've been avoiding sitting at the computer all week. Which means, there have been no updates on the blog.... I'm sorry! I promise to get in gear and let you know what we've been doing. But we've mostly been trying to keep cool.

Owen's new giraffe pool was great until we let it sit for a few days and it became the most prolific mosquito breeding ground you have ever seen. Hundreds and hundreds of larvae swimming around waiting to hatch. Yuck. So last night we drained it and rinsed it out. Just in time for today, our hottest day of the year!!!!!!

So, we went to the drugstore and got an emergency heat relief mechanism (a $1.50 sprinkler):

Yes, that is Owen running through the sprinkler in his Thomas the Tank Engine underwear!

Here's another great way to beat the heat:

Chocolate Ice Cream!

Anyway, there's a lot of exciting stuff going on around here, but it's just too hot to sit here anymore... I promise to tell you more soon!
