Powerless

Today our power was turned off for four hours so an electric company could replace the transformers that provide our apartment complex with electricity. I wasn't too excited about that since it's been quite warm here for the past couple weeks! So as the temps were creeping into the upper 80's with the humidity at 50% (yes, I know that's cool in AZ standards!), it was pretty much an oven in our house! I did the dishes and tidied up the kids' room and I lasted about 1 hour without any fans or air conditioning. I sunscreened up the kiddos and out to the pool we went! We spent a good almost two hours out there, trying to prolong the inevitable of returning back into the inferno. I was really afraid to even lay Gavin down for his nap because it's hot enough in their room while the ceiling fan AND oscillating fan are on! Poor kid wakes up drenched in his own sweat every day! I fed the kids lunch real quick and put Gav down. The rest of us lounged in our swimsuits to keep cool. Brooklyn and Blake enjoyed a popsicle on the porch and not too much later, they turned the power back on!! Yay! That teeny, tiny air conditioner we have in the family room went right on! One thing I can't stand is being uncomfortable temp-wise in my own home! Spoiled I tell ya!

Cheap entertainment!
