Summer is here!

I thought it was going to be a mild summer until yesterday. The air was so thick it felt as though you could not breathe. The heat index was said to be 102. It felt like it.
I took the kids shopping with me, but the combination of toddlers and the heat it made for a nerve wracked day. I have no a/c in the van so, it was just soooo hot that we were all miserable. The highlight of our afternoon was the 7 11! SLURPEES!!!! Now that will make you feel so refreshed on a hot stagnate day as we had yesterday. Then we followed it up by them playing in the pool! So the end of the day was better than the beginning. At least for them. For me, because so much arguing went on with the lil ones, my nerves were frazzled and were literally jittery. So I made the kids keep it quiet the rest of the night until bed so that I could relax some.
Now I am up, it's 5 after 6 this  morning, and, it's already 72. This is not good. So the house a/c will most likely come on very soon.

This Old House

It seems so hard these days to find the time to post like I once did. I stay so busy between the kids and the house. All of that is about to pick up even more. We moved in this house a little over a year ago and I have been waiting for Jasper to begin the transformation of turning this from an ugly old eye sore in the neighborhood, to a cute farmhouse. It's coming soon! I was so happy the other day to find out it was all about to begin!
He is going to put on the OSB and the shake siding on all but the side we will be adding on the new room to.   This will include shutters and all. I cannot tell you how excited it makes me! I try to picture this in my mind, but it just won't come together. I will be sure to post pictures as the work begins!
