one word for you all. hot. it will be 105 degrees by thursday. it's gonna be a baptism by fire... literally. wish us luck as we jump into our first arizona summer. yikes.
But its a dry heat!.... yeah right. I thought I would through out a few tips that we use. Always leave towels in the car, then you can cover the carseats and seatbelts, and they wont burn the kids. I bought "special" sippy cups or water bottles for the kids and every time we leave the house I fill them with water and ice so they ALWAYS have water with the. Most people leave a gallon of water in their trunk just in case. The water would be hot but warm water is better than no water. Oh and if you can tint you windows as dark as you can, best 100 bucks I have spent down here, it is cheaper down in AZ since everyone has their windows tinted. If it is more than that make a deal with them, I found like five cars to get tinted and they dropped the price like 30 bucks. My two cars and some friends in the ward all got their cars done. I made my back windows really dark so the kids are in the shade. We play outside in the mornings when it is cool and you have to stay inside all afternoon, even with pools, cause we all get sun burnt instantly in the heat of summer here. Even with a "full" tan I still get burnt with sun screen on in the summer if out side too long. Hmm thats all I can think of right now! Now you know what cookies feel like in you oven, oh cool!!
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Nelson Mandela

Have Fun!!! :) My advice: watch out for seatbelts. They seriously become dangerous.
That's why the house will have a pool, right?
Get ready to feel like you are standing in front of a blow dryer on high heat this summer.
And then look forward to no umpteen hours equipping the kids for playing outside next winter.
Me- ever the optimist.
Good luck!! Be careful with the car seats in the summer...you'll burn your babies buns!!
