Holy heat wave

Indiana summer has finally arrived- welcomed with temps in the low 90s with heat indexes in the 100's for the past 5 days and not letting up anytime in the next 7 day forecast. The humidity has been out of control- even Reese now asks if it is humid outside before we go out and play. Play outside has been limited to early in the morning or right before bed time- unless we are in the pool. Our daily walks are now being taken right after breakfast to avoid the extreme heat. Today when we got back (around 9) Reese told me she was too sweaty and confused :) She is attempting to use more and more adjectives each day to describe things and especially how she feels- but sometimes doesn't use quite the right one. I asked her what confused meant, and she said hot- hmm, not exactly :) Yesterday we were in the pool before lunch as the temps were already mid 80s by 9:30. Having a pool this time of year sure is nice, especially since I am home all day with the kids. We use it once, if not twice a day most days- and sometimes hop in after dinner too!
Last weekend we stayed cool by having some friends over to grill out and swim. Hannah is 3 months younger than Reese, and Mollie is 2 months younger than Preston. We have gotten together with them a handful of times since moving here- but this time Preston LOVED playing with Mollie. Giving her kisses and following her around. Hannah and Reese played great together too and had a blast swimming. Sunday we were literally in the pool ALL day. I got in with Reese at 10- we got out for lunch- I laid in the pool while the kids napped- and then we all swam again after their nap. By 5:00, I was all sunned out, but got a nice little tan out of it!
