Yes you read that right that is EXACTLY how our thermometers went today. We started our day in the 70's I believe (ask my hubby-I was still asleep when he left for work). By the time the kidlets and I woke up it was 88 outside and only 10:30am!! Or at least that was when I finally turned the computer on. Our apartment was a toasty 85. We were on track for a VERY LONG and HOT day. I decided to wash our towels since all our pool towels were dirty or wet (not that they wouldn't dry but I hadn't had my morning coffee so I wasn't even thinking). By the time I was finally showered, and ready to go along with the kidlets, it was 90 degrees inside and 95 outside and only 11:15am!!! YIKES!!!
I had decided at that point that we were NOT eating at home and that we would go grab me my ICED coffee and then head directly to Target....I did do a slight detour to Lane Bryant (their A/C was HEAVENLY) to buy some shorts but ended up buying the wrong size so now I can't even wear them. Grrr.....then we were off to Target!! We grabbed lunch since Aid wanted oatmeal for breakfast and I didn't want to feed him that because HOT day+warm food=way to hot for oatmeal day. He then refused cereal so he didn't eat. He scarfed 3 (count them 1...2....3!!!) hot dogs and I didn't even care today....he was happy!! (normally this would NEVER happen). We did our errands and then hopped in my cool....err....I mean melting car and headed to Alexa's.
We hung out all afternoon there waiting for the Comcast dude to hook up her cable, phone and Internet. He came at the end of the time and he said it had been a day for him too. Her place was cooler than mine but the kiddo's weren't having it or rather Brookie wasn't. So she finally crashed and Aid was shortly behind her. Of course it was like 5:30pm. I got them in the car, couldn't drive because the steering wheel was hot, does this ever happen here??? and headed straight to DQ. I might buy stock in DQ because we have been going so frequently lately. Got some ice cream and went straight to the pool. Thank goodness we had swim appropriate clothes....sort of. Jumped in and stayed there for about 2 hours. When we were done we came home to a 99 degree apartment. So fun. Changed into dry clothes and went to an air conditioned restaurant for dinner. This heat is going to cost me a lot of money in food I think....
We tried to go chase a sunset but got there to late so that's on the agenda for tomorrow. At least it will be cool. Came home and tried to sleep. It's now officially 1am and I have to work at 6am. Our apartment is 88.4 degrees and hasn't dropped anything for the past 2 hours. I am suppose to sleep in this??? Oh well. Supposedly we are going to cool off a bit....I'll believe it when I see it!! Anyhoo, off to grab a bunch of wet wash clothes and hit the hay for a few hours anyhow. Hope everyone else is staying cool.
Oh and the high in Redmond was 110 degrees at 5:30 today. YIKES!!! Wonder what tomorrow has in store for us??!!!! Nighty night!!

It's getting hot in here....
WOW it is a hot tamale in our apartment!!! What a week we are having!! Yesterday got up to 94 and today, well we are already at 95 and it is getting hotter. Our apartment is 93 degrees and both kiddos are O-U-T!!! Brookie fought it and Aidan was just a stinker because he was tired and hot. I finally dragged him back to his room (I was putting B to sleep and he kept waking her whining and trying to lay next to her, on her everywhere!). He C-R-A-S-H-E-D on his bed. The rest of the week is suppose to be hotter until Friday.
So this morning, we woke up and went to the park and met Janelle there. We only lasted an hour. The kids didn't argue at all about leaving. It was interesting because usually they don't want to leave. Janelle and met up again at Target and walked around for awhile and got a few things that we both needed for our families. I then treated everyone to ICEE's which were definitely much needed. The kids were a bit out of control (as usual around each other) but next best thing to hot apartments.
We are doing everything that we can to stay cool but it will be a long next few days.... Lots of pool time. Both kiddos slept in underwear and diaper respectively. We are just trying to stay cool.....ok, gotta run....Brookie woke up...now to survive the heat until Aid wakes up. Stay cool!!

Been L-A-Z-Y lately
I have been SO lazy lately in my blogging!! I keep thinking to myself that I need to sit down take 10 minutes (depending) to blog. Sorry to my 3 faithful readers....what have we been doing since our last blog entry???
July 3rd-Brookie cut her third tooth
July4th-went to the Bothell parade with the Ord family and had a blast!! We are going to start a tradition of going early, getting donuts and coffee and watching the parade!! Then we went to Katie & Dave's for dinner and fireworks
July 7th-took Aid to the pediatrician and found out he had the starts of bronchitis and the starts of a sinus infection. Both of which he was treated for since we were headed out of town the next day. He even got an inhaler like daddy's. He felt just like daddy doing his breathing treatments. He was a great sport and took his meds without a fuss!!! We were so very proud of him!!
July 8th-I got 4 hours of sleep after a 23 hour day (my fault because I didn't get things done over the weekend and John ended up going to bed so I didn't have the extra help packing-he had to work). Took Aid to the doctor, loaded my mom's car and headed to the ferry for our trip to Discovery Bay.
July 8-13th-spent time at Discovery Bay with my mom, Aid, Brooke, John (11-13) and Mary, Logan and Little Megan (8-10). SO very fun!!! We had a very laid back time until John got here then we explored!! Aidan and I went crab searching on the beach one day before Daddy came. We explored Port Townsend, the port that was there, Sequim, a lavender place where I bought two lavender starts!! I can't wait until they get bigger!! We even got a date in on our vacation!!! Thanks Nana!! This was John and my anniversary trip!! My mom was sending us on a weekend trip for our anniversary and this was actually her friends timeshare but we were invited to come along for part of the trip because her friend double booked. Mom was our babysitter!! It was fun with her along though!! We even went to the Olympic Game Park and we fed so many fun and different animals!!
July 11th-MY BIRTHDAY!! Ok so not to exciting. We hung out and had a delicious dinner of salmon and went to Port Townsend sightseeing/window shopping. It was a great day!! John got there that day and I don't know who was more excited to see him, me or Aidan. He was so sweet and I think my hints finally got to him. He bought me coffee card from my most favorite coffee stand!! Wahoo!! I LOVE it although he bought the wrong drink, sort of, he just didn't put ALL the extras that I have in my drink usually. Oh well.
July 13th-we came home and got back to reality!!
July 17th-my aunt Margie came into town and we went to the Wiggles!! Aidan was a bit of a party pooper because he had VBS all week and he also didn't get good nights sleep on Wednesday or Thursday due to the fact that it was SO hot out!! He was to tired to really have fun at the Wiggles although he is talking about it non-stop today.
July 18th!!!-Today!!! We had the Boone's over for breakfast of quiche and raspberries, went and got John's emissions tested, and then went to Target and shopped as a family for everything that we need that I didn't get this week on my Target trip....cat litter, more diapers, etc. Anyhow, Aidan then had a birthday party for Cadence today and it was a Mary Poppins tea party and he had so much fun!! Then we went over to my mom's for a salmon dinner. Seeing a trend?? Brought the kiddo's home and put Aidan to bed and waited for Brookmeister to fall asleep for me to be able to sit down and write a blog after doing dishes. That brings us current!! If you followed any of that I am impressed, I am really tired today and not to mention that it is after midnight and I need sleep. I am hitting up the Nordstrom's anniversary sale in the AM for new shoes!! So nighty night!! Pictures are coming!!
Oh and on an off note, John put his 2-week notice in at Garlic Jim's tonight!! His last day is August 2nd!! I get my hubby back on the weekends!! Thanks Babe for all your hard work working 7 days a week!! I hope you know how truly blessed I am to have you as my hubby and how appreciative I am!! Love you!!!
