If you can't take the heat.....

This week has been the hottest I can remember here in Oregon. 104 yesterday. Arg! And we, like most people in Oregon, don't have central air conditioning because for the most part our weather forecast for the year is rain and oh yeah more rain. So we have two small air conditioners and have been hiding out in the back part of the house where the AC is.

Here's a taste of our week:

We bought two large fans, 1 costco size box of otter pops, fudgecicles, several bags of ice, a set of blinds for our back deck door (didn't have one), and one roof fan thing (supposedly sucks out all the hot air) to help us keep cool.

I was able to read the last Harry Potter book again (when I was hiding out with Max in the back air conditioned room), I'm can't wait for the movies to come out.

We haven't really done any cooking (the kitchen is unbearable without turning anything on) so we've lived off cereal, otter pops, microwaveable burritos and of course lots of water.

Hardly any dishes have been done and the living room is a mess.

The pool has been filled twice and visited frequently.

Ahhhh. I love summer.
