The two inches of rain which poured out of the sky this morning pooled on the already saturated ground and added to the sauna-like humidity.
It was the kind of day where a walk to the mailbox made you think you were going to have a heat stroke.
Add to that the dive-bombing mosquitoes that are increasing at record rates, and all you do is sweat and swat!
However, the kids, thinking the mosquitoes couldn’t catch them and the wind in their faces would feel good, braved the elements to ride their bikes this afternoon. They came in soaked with sweat and collapsed in front of the fans.
They determined that the best way to survive is to stay indoors and watch movies, or hide in the depths of the neighbor’s pool!
Well, it bears repeating. :)
We’ll probably go for a swim tonight. The water was in the upper 80’s yesterday. So, even I can get in without my joints aching.
Psalms 23:2-3 is taking on new meaning…
…He leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul…
I know he wasn’t talking about swimming pools. But after a day like today, I’m thinking a swim in the quiet waters of a pool would go a long way towards refreshing my soul. :) It couldn’t hurt, anyway!
And I’m running out of movies!
What do you all do to beat the heat?? I need to come up with some more ideas for the rest of the week!

Swim in the neighbor's pool
We FINALLY got some needed rain last night! But the humidity and the heat yesterday was unbearable. Here are some things we do inside. Puppet shows, camping, coloring, make playdough, play store, building blocks etc. Hope that gives you some ideas.

I have the kids play outside only in the morning, they don't want to be out in the heat, and I don't blame them! you're so lucky to have such kind neighbors :)
We do not have a pool, and while we have little to no humidity, boy we do have the heat. So, we turn on the sprinkler system and play in the water. The kids have learned to be content, and the lawn is watered. Blessings!
