The temperatures (and the humidex!) have been steadily rising over the past week, bringing us hot and humid conditions every single day. We knew it was going to be a hot summer, but this is beyond what we have experienced in recent years and there appears to be no end in sight. We are getting a bit of a respite tonight as things have cooled off after a wicked thunderstorm blew through here (and knocked down the Bluesfest main stage as well!), bringing it with it intermittent power outages. Isabelle and Oliver enjoyed the novelty of the candlelit house and especially loved the chance to blow out candles that weren't on a birthday cake.
The patio furniture was put to good use the past few days as the kids have loved eating outside. Normally it's a significant exercise to get them in for dinner, so we stopped trying to convince them. Dinner comes to them and they wouldn't have it any other way.
We also added a kiddie pool to the mix today. Oliver and Isabelle woke up to find it full and ready for playtime first thing this morning. Needless to say, breakfast was an off and on event from that point forward. As any kid would, they loved the chance to cool off anytime they wanted while using the available water to "help" with the gardening. Oliver spends most of his time in the pool pretending he is a crocodile. Isabelle was demanding her goggles, not sure those are necessary in 6 inches of water!
This pool is awesome!
Sibling silliness
Couple of pool noodles hamming it up
Dinner break, no need to come inside!
He looks like such a little schemer

Sweet Ontario corn. Nothing beats it!
