The Hot Days of Spring

Whew. I think Mother Nature is trying to kill me. Seriously. We're on day four of 95+ degrees...and we finally broke down and put in the air conditioners. Today topped out at 102 and the upstairs was a sweltering 97. UNBEARABLE!

The kids and I holed up in the basement since there's a/c down there already. Coming upstairs to use the bathroom and make meals was horrific! :) But alas, the air conditioners are now in upstairs and boy is it nice! By tomorrow morning, we should be at a cool, dry 75 degrees!!

On Saturday, we were at Walmart and picked up this inexpensive pool for the kids. When we were looking at them, all 3 kids said they did NOT want to go in the pool. By the time we were home, 2 of 3 had changed their mind. It didn't take long for the 3rd to reconsider. All 3 of them have had colds/running fevers for the last 5 days or so. Even with the fevers and not feeling well, they had a great time!! Enjoy the pics! Maddie's wearing the blue swim suit, Lexi the pink/white.
Nate in mid-jump!
Maddie in mid-fall - look at that pony whipping!!
Nate playing with the basketball.
Getting the pool with the slide was the best decision we made that day! Lexi sitting pretty!
SPLASH! WHEW, that's cold!!
Seriously? You want to take my picture? I'm too busy!
You can take MY picture!!
