The third week of July presented us with a massive heat wave! Nate was in Vegas for the entire week so the kids and I sweated it out alone. It was actually great as we could do whatever we wanted and I felt no pressure to put on big family dinners. The schedule was simple. We went to the gym every morning from 8:30 till 10:45, ran one short errand, then came home and the kids did workbooks while I made lunch. After lunch we did yoga in the nice cool basement, and everyone went up for naps.
I grilled or cooked something for dinner and packed it all up while everyone slept, and when they awoke around 3:30 we headed straight to the pool to meet up with friends. We ate there every night! No clean up! One night we braved a very sweaty concert at the park, but other than that it was all pool, all the time. Every other night we would come home at 7:30 for showers before bed, every off night we could come home right at 8, slip into clean t-shirts, and right into a book and bed. It was a heavenly week. The kids have gotten SO easy at the pool, I can have a nice combination of playing with them and actually sitting and reading or talking with my friends without being constantly terrified of someone drowning.
