We are literally living in an Inferno.  My state has something like 13 fires going?  One is less than 15 miles from my house.  The air quality is pretty good most of the times, but some days it's bad enough to keep us inside.  The temperature itself is downright hellish.  103 degrees????  I moved here to escape that kind of heat in AZ!  I sure hope something changes soon.  There was some rain here in our town tonight, but it didn't reach our house.  I sure hope it hit the fire!

We have been doing a lot of this:

Because really what else can you do in this unbearable heat? 
And we have been doing a TON of this:

My girls are the two in their school uniforms.  I love it when they dance together-I think they look like book ends.  We are all about dance right now.  They will be dancing at the North American Championship Nationals next week, so they are dancing a million hours a week.  CRAZY STUFF.

In other news, I have to share my wonderful Find of the Week-this is again from Home Goods.  I was in with a friend while our kids were at the movies (with her Grandmother!), and I found this.  We had to leave in a hurry, but not before I snagged this baby!  I love it!  What is it exactly?  Mmmmm, not sure.  But I love stars, and it fits so well with the 4th of July theme.
I think that's it for around here for now.  Except that we have a new catfish addition to our tank.  Pie has named him Lamar.  Not sure if I can get a picture of Lamar any time soon, but he's really cute and little.
