It's Hot!

Since our new arrivals are settling in we are finding that we need to rearrange our home a bit.  We've spent a lot of the last week moving and cleaning.  Our 10 year old is a lot like having a very tall 4 year old in the house so we had to rethink where we put things.

Today was so hot.  Even here, where it rarely gets that unbearable!  So this morning we finished up our cleaning and chores.  Then we had a social worker visit for a check up on our girls.  After that the girls had a drs appointment.  We then stopped at a local swimming spot for a quick swim before VBS.  We have VBS all this week in the evenings.  The children are all really enjoying it.

I'm looking for creative ways to keep 10 people cool without really spending any money!  The river is getting old and it's too dangerous for our two littlest girls.  Since the baby doesn't walk yet I need to be somewhere I can let her crawl, put her in a stroller or hold her (and since I have FM I can't hold her long before I lose the stamina to do so). 

Well I need to make sure everything is ready for tomorrow and get headed toward bed.  I'll probably be up for a while since it is still really sticky and hot tonight.

Do you have a hose in your yard? My kids enjoy those cheap slip and slides that you can buy for $10 or less. The big kids really like this and wiht supervision the little kids like to get in the act too.
