I've said this before and I'll probably say it again many times, it's HOT in Alabama.
(Oh yes, I should mention we MOVED. Three weeks ago we moved here from Georgia to spend the second half of the summer in Montgomery. We didn't have internet for the first two weeks.. hence the lack of blogging)
All right, where was I?? Oh ya, it's very hot and HUMID. Take note, humid is the greater evil. I can do Utah hot. When it's 95 degrees, it feels like 95 degrees. That's not how it works with the humidity. One day it was 98 degrees, but my truck thermometer was reading a steady 106! This morning I checked the weather at 9:00 AM: "89 degrees, Feels like 97 degrees with humidity". And that's early in the morning!
So, we desperate house wives have had to find alternative ways to get ourselves and the kids out of the apartments. The kids don't last too long at the park before turning red in the face and dripping in sweat. The pool is great, but can't do that every single day. So one thing we've found to do is hit up the near by fast food joints with INDOOR playgrounds. Luckily we live in a really nice part of town so everything is new and clean. We've got a Burger King and a McDonalds with great kids areas, and even BIG flat screen TV's playing cartoons! So to cool off sometimes we'll take the kids there, grab some ice cream cones, and let 'em loose ;) And us wifeys get a minute to chat and chill. There are so many kids in our group this year, and we've been wanting to do a recipe swap but can't find a place inside big enough to hold all of us since our apartments are a titch to small to avoid total chaos. SO today we decided why not gather at the Burger King? It worked out great! Cara even had a portable copier so we could make copies of each other's recipes! The BK employees were probably like, who on earth are these people?? Oh well, we had a good time :)

We don't have TV's or Cable in our apartments here, so at BK the kids do a little playing on the slides, but eventually get sucked into the cartoons on the big plasmas...
Yes, Ava and Marli are sharing an ice cream cone.. Classic :).

In his own form of coping with the humidity, Cohen has decided that shirts are no longer of any good use. One day he figured how to take his shirt off himself, and now I have a really hard time keeping one on him! Even out in public..
Hypnotized by the cartoons... They are so deprived ;)

The humidity sounds awful... It's been around 100 degrees here, so we're feeling your pain. Good idea to hit the indoor play areas :) The pictures are so cute but making me super homesick for my grandkiddies.
I think even the places with signs that read "no shoes, no shirt, no service" would have a hard time kicking that little guy out=) He's soo cute.
And I would LOVE to add you to my blog, but you forgot to leave your email address! So email me it, HLMatthews4@yahoo.com bc I already took the blog to the place where secrets are told.
