Returning Home from a Scorching Birthday Party

[pamperedlinda]

I just got back from taking DS to a birthday party. Who in their right mind schedules a birthday party outside, in August, at noon?! It was miserable hot. When we were driving home the temp at the bank said 102 and the outside temp on my car said 111....it's too hot to even go to the pool!

Oh goodness I think that I would melt:yuck:

Goodness that is hot... I would have thought with those temps you were in AZ;P

HotWe are in TX and my hubby and son are outside cutting the grass. They are very hot and will probably lose about 10 pounds in sweat!! My son is very skinny to begin with so he might not make it!! LOL :yuck:

We have our children's combined party the first weekend in September. This year it will land on September 8th. It is very hot and we try to do water games (water balloons, water guns, and the kiddie pool). We are having a sleepover and if the boys are brave enough they will be sleeping in a tent. The girls will stay inside. It was fun last year, but way too many kids. This year there won't be so many. It's so much work for me and trying to keep order in the house is a challenge too. Especially when the kids who aren't mine don't listen and I can't discipline them.

It's so hot here too. I have all the blinds closed off so no sunshine can heat us up in here!! That is pretty stupid to have a party outside like that. Keep drinking!!!

Today is the first day we can breathe outside! My 4 yr. old was THRILLED that he could go out and swim. It's been about 105 with a heat index of around 115. Awful. Thank the Lord it's cooled off to the mid-90s!

I am ready for fall!

Who's with me??

Hoodies, chili, pumpkins, and festivals??? WOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

[DebbieJ]

Yep, my 3 yo ds was talking about going to the pumpkin farm today. We're all ready for fall!

Late fall/early winter is my favorite season... much easier (and not indecent) to put more clothes on and warm up. After all there is only so much you can take off and still go outside without being arrested for indecent exposure.

Our pool is disgustingly warm, like bath water. The kids get in and get out even when the sun goes down its too warm to be refreshing.

[lacychef]

Yep, it's been that hot here for several weeks now. We were in Branson last week & it was hot there too....all the water rides at Silver Dollar City were the longest!

Can someone send some heat to Wisconsin? We have two birthday parties at our house this weekend - both are supposed to be pool parties, and the water temperature is only 72 degrees. I don't know what I'm going to do with all these kids!

It does already feel like fall over here! I love fall, but not yet!

I'm not sure where you are at, but I am in N GA. The other day at 4:30 it was still over 100!! We are having a HUGE problem with ants because it is so hot. We can't keep them out of the house! I sure can't wait until it cools off!!

I agree- send some heat my way! It is 72 on the hottest day here! Some might say that is nice, but I feel like I need to stock up on heat now and save it for January when it is -20!
