Update - It's even hotter!!!!!

Yes, there is a difference. 106 is very, very, very hot and 108 is extremely HOT. The moment you walk out the door you are sweating and hot. We are back inside and we are still trying to cool off.

It's HOT!!!! And as of this post it's only getting hotter. It's says 107 now and they think it might hit 108. I wonder if there is a difference in how 108 feels compared to 106? My mom sent us a package and it's sitting in the mail box today. Usually when we know she sent us something we would rush to the mailbox. It takes about 5 minutes to walk to the mailbox with the kids, maybe 2 alone.....not getting the mail for a while!

We had to document that we have actually been in this hot of weather. This winter we were in 0 degrees and now we have been in 106 degrees. Moving to Boise has taken us to the extremes (extreme for us).

Ila May thought it was fun to run in the heat....only for a minute. We only stayed outside for about 3 minutes to get some pictures and then we went right back into the air conditioning. It was a bit hard to breath. I did not take Silas out.

Puzzle Fun

We love doing puzzles. We found this really old puzzle at a garage sale for a quarter. We figured there would be a piece or two missing but had to finish it to find out.

Mark's the main one who has the patiences to stick it out and do the puzzles. But we all join in and try to piece it together. We can get a bit goofy sometimes too. For me I can only stare so long at the small pieces before I get a little looney. My strategy is to find the most colorful fun section and do that part and leave the harder parts for Mark since he loves the challenge.

Starting to look like a picture.

Even Silas got to join in on the fun.

Lulu's really good at puzzles and is a lot like Mark and has patience to work through the hard parts. Also she can walk by and see where a piece goes. I'm not as good.
