these days are sooooo hot. our evening routine has evolved to include a pool visit after dinner. cool off, take a shower, then home for bed. works a treat. there's nothing like water play to tire out the kiddos. the house is closed up, doors and windows shut tight, curtains drawn, to keep the heat at bay. it's our summer cave. makes the house dark and coolish. some days i just want the light to flood in. its too hot to venture out except to hang out the laundry or water the pot plants. the heat surrounds you. envelopes you in a thick hug, reaching every inch of skin and the bottom of your lungs. we hang out in our summer cave waiting for the sun to go to bed and the temperature to fall.
