It's HOT!

It's summertime in Texas.  It is hot!  You know it's incredibly hot when the weatherman has used "oppressive" to describe the temperature.  There have been heat advisories every day for the last two months.  Our low remains around 80 and the highs are 102.  Our a/c never shuts off.  I don't remember what rain looks like.  And worst of all, my kids love to play outside.  I love it that they adore being outdoors.  We walk outside and they are dripping in sweat.  Their little faces are bright red.  They just get miserable.  We go to the library, YMCA, or mall play area for some activities inside.  Most days coloring, books, and puzzles are entertaining enough.  Other days Mommy must get creative.

Outside at 8:45 am and it's already hot!

10 minutes later (not even exaggerating) they were all free!
