It's Hot in Here!!

Wow, it's been a scorcher in the Coulby household this past week!  The AC upstairs started acting up last Wednesday and that was that.  Thursday we had someone come out and tell us we needed a new outdoor unit and new coils inside and that they could do it on Monday.  That means we went without AC upstairs (we have AC downstairs) Wednesday - Sunday nights.  NOT FUN!!!  The normal temp upstairs by the end of the day was a toasty 86-87 degrees.

We tried a camp out in the basement Thursday night and while the girls were absolutely precious together, they woke every few hours to giggle and/or fight.  Our girls don't sleep well anywhere but their own beds.  Which is fine for short spurts...like when we went to WV the previous weekend...But after going to WV, starting summer camp, then the AC going out, the girls hadn't had a good nights rest in over a week.

We had a few offers from our amazing friends and family to let us stay with them...but since we had AC other places in our house we didn't need to take anyone up on the offer, plus that didn't solve our lack of sleep problem!  Thankfully we were able to borrow a rolling AC unit from some friends and put it at the girls end of the hall so they were able to get a little bit of sleep.

We tried getting the cold air from the main level upstairs...that didn't really do much.

So we made the best of it.  The girls and Matt did a little cleaning one morning.

Matt made sure to point out the milk or food that he found on the walls and molding and the girls happily helped him clean...I think he's hoping they get his OCD cleaning habits...I must say I'd love that!!  :)

We went swimming

We played with rice and beans in the front yard.

We had friends over and went to the playground.

And looked at the animals at the girls school.

Dad and Tammy came over to spend some time with us Sunday and then Monday morning the HVAC guys showed up to replace the old unit!!!

See that old turd.

And our shiny new unit (let me pretend like I love looking at this and it was worth every penny).  Don't get me wrong, it's probably worth every penny given how hot and miserable the last few nights were, but I could think of a lot of other things I would have liked to have done with our money.



The dogs were happy once installation was done, they were tired of being tied to the table haha.
