Beating the Heat

I knew the breezy weather a few weeks ago was a dream. Back to the humid scorching heat we Virginians know all too well. I feel like I am melting. Literally. I almost tried to convince the lady at Lowe's to sell me her huge misting fan she had planted by her register. The kids and I did venture out this morning to shop for much needed household items. They were so good in our 3 store trip that I treated them to happy meals and myself to a frappucino.

The past 2 weeks we have cooled off at the pool during their swimming lessons. I can barely tear them away from the water using coercion (with a smile on my face so the other mothers won't call CPS) to get them out and into the van. I am happy that my kids are water babies and it seems they are doing pretty well listening and becoming more independent in the water. Much improved after the first disastrous day of lessons. That night when Mike saw a look of distress over my face, he took over bedtime duties and sent me shopping for paint and home decor. Alone. My man knows me so well. In the forecast tomorrow...much needed rain!
