Beating the Heat

Yesterday the recorded high was 90. When Don got home yesterday he and Dylan set up the pool so of course the water was freezing. But that didn't hinder Patience and Jordyn from being in it most of the evening. We ordered pizza and ate on the back patio. Don made "mocktails," which were basically like Mai Tais without the rum. The kids loved them.

Today seems almost as hot, maybe a few degrees cooler, or maybe it's just that I've been inside most of the day. We deep cleaned Nathan's room, washed all the bedding, etc, because we're going to start sleeping in the basement. Last night Jordyn didn't get to sleep until 11 because it was so bloody hot, even with the ceiling fans going and the windows wide open.

So the girlies will sleep in the twin beds in Nathan's room and Don and I will sleep on the fold-out couch in the t.v. room. The basement is at least 10 degrees cooler than the upstairs (maybe more) so we figure we should sleep in the most comfortable part of the house!

Here are some pics of Nathan and the girlies in the pool this afternoon. You can see Nathan has his signature Quadra haircut : )
