Beat the heat.

The dog is bored, the kid is wired, the grass is dead, and being indoors with not much to do but cook is leaving this little momma, well, not so little.

With the sun blazing and temperatures in the 100's for consecutive weeks, we have been indoors with the curtains closed trying to stay cool. We have had to fix the air conditioner in our house and my car. Needless to say, we are going stir crazy along with everyone else here in the Midwest. We try to do our jogs and errand running early in the morning. I've tried to keep Emma busy with finger painting and baking (we are still trying to cool our house off from that one!). She made an escape the other day when I turned away for two seconds with the door opened. She ran straight through the sprinkler fully clothed outback! Even wet, she was ready to find refuge back in the cool house after just a few minutes. We really wouldn't have made it a hundred years ago!

She simply went crazy at music class this morning with a chance to run around a large cool space with twenty other kids. Ms Debbie tried to do music with a lot of dancing so these children being held hostage in houses could use up all their extra energy supply. Thursday we are going to a toddler time at the pool early in the morning with friends before it gets too hot.

What is everyone else doing in this heat? We could definitely use some suggestions!

Emma got her own flour and water to mix up.  She had sooo much fun!
