Hot, Hot, Hot…

…and getting HOTTER.

The months of June, July, and August are BRUTAL in Florida.  We are all relegated to our lovely air conditioned homes.  (Although today, I was desperately pleading with my AC unit to PLEASE move down below 79.  PRETTY please??)  I equate this weather we are experiencing to a northern snow storm.  I’m just forced to be creative with indoor activities.   “Creative” is not my strong suit, so I usually just end up spreading bins of toys into different play areas in the house.   I can give Daniel and Annabel the “illusion” that we are in some super cool indoor play zone.  This usually doesn’t last very long, so I’m so thankful for the following: Our public library, Gymboree, the indoor shopping mall, Barnes & Noble and its train table, and the POOL.  The only time we can all hang outdoors is if we are immersed in some sort of water and slathered with SPF 50 (if there was an SPF 100, I would use it.)  It’s even too hot to hang in the shade.  We bought the kids a water table, but that lasted five minutes.

At least “Beez” uses it.
