it's hot

it's VERY hot here, and that's about all there is to say.

we have been keeping cool by staying close to home and the fans. we have the kiddie pool out but honestly, it's just too hot to even be out in the yard. we visited the sprinkler park, that was a relief. mostly though, i am at a loss.

today we ended the day with an "ice bath". that's a fancy name for dumping all the ice trays out into the tub. 

the kids loved it, of course. and the day ended on a good note with cool bodies and happy spirits all around. the heat wave is supposed to break tonight, i'm hoping for a big thunder storm to see it out. that would be a relief!
