Another hot one


Today's heat index = 118 degrees
Today's progress on the fence = connector pieces (that's about as technical as it's going to get from me)
Today's daycare = Grandma Judy again.  Today Jennifer and the kids joined them for swimming and pizza. 


"Mom- take a picture of me by the fence."
*click*
"Can I see how I look?"


I skipped out on running last night because it was so hot.  Not a smart idea since today is worse and hearing that tomorrow could be worse than today, then Kari and the boys come home on Thursday, etc, time is running out this week!  That only means one thing- if I don't get out today it won't happen for a while and that isn't good.  So, off I went.
Today was Week 6, Day 1 which is 5 minute warm up walk, jog 5 min, walk 3 min, jog 8 min, walk 3 min, jog 5 min, cool down walk 5 min.  I ended up taking a different route so my last walk was much longer than 5 min but all together jogged/walked 3.7 miles.

My sisters and I decided to do a 5K on August 21st.  Not too convinced yet that I will be able to run the whole thing or even 1/2 of it but confident that between walking and running I can do it.
Makes me a little nervous....

Is there anything he can't do?!


We have been shattering records with our heat index this summer and today I believe they said that with the heat index it feels like 106+ degrees outside.  Lucky for Brian (not!) he has this week off of work and has been planning to build a fence.
I came home today to see that he is well on his way to finishing this by the end of the week.
I was happy to hear that he was taking breaks and staying well hydrated in this heat.

Jackie is also on vacation this week so the girls are going to have a week with their favorites!!
Today they were at Grandma Judy's.  They spent their day playing, swimming in the pool, watching movies, eating snacks and cuddling.
