Yes, it's true....

we live in Texas where today marks day 33 with temperatures 100 degrees or more. And might I mention no rain as well? There is no end to the heat in sight and we're on track to break the record streak of 42 days set back in 1980.

So how do we manage? Well, we're doing lots of staying indoors, which isn't easy in our 1800 sq ft home :). Getting lots of use out of our Wii, playing video games, watching TV, working on school, going to summer camps, and our most fun is playing in the pool.

I don't cook in the oven at all. Instead we'll grill out and last week I even baked cookies in there which actually turned out pretty well. Lots of cold salads or sandwiches. Ice cream is also a frequent occurance!

The kids have had several camps this summer. Sydney had 3 weeks of science camp and a week of intensive dance camp, the girls have had a week of art camp, and the 3 oldest kids had 2 weeks of swim lessons. Here are some photos of those:
