Pouting Pool Party

If you've been following the weather in Yellowknife lately,

you know it's been HOT. 

Thirty degrees with no wind and no clouds to shade you from the sun.

AND because of where we are, 

the darn thing barely dips below the horizon for more than a couple of hours.

I believe sunset is just before midnight now?

And up again a couple of hours later. 

I haven't seen real darkness since we were home in Newfoundland.

The point of my rant about the midnight sun,

is that at 7pm it's STILL thirty degrees. 

Can you tell I'm not a huge fan of the midnight sun?

I find it really hard to sleep. 

It's not nearly as bad here as it was in Fort McPherson,

but my brain cannot figure out this day/night stuff when the sun is ALWAYS shining!

Sorry.

Back to my blog.

It's been HOT.

Piper's been HOT.

Too hot to sleep well. 

With her window open and fan on, we still can't get her room to go below 32 degrees.

Not napping well makes Piper cranky.

Two days ago we stuck her in her little pool on the back deck to make her cool and happy.

It worked for 15 minutes.

She was CRANKY!

So we fed her and put her to bed.

After a not-long-enough nap, 

she was up and wanting to get in the pool again.

Fun!

For a little while.

After coming inside for dinner and then being cleaned up for the night,

(still much too hot to wear clothes)

Piper decided that it was time to swim again. 

Momma said "no".

Piper didn't like it.

She cried  screamed for 20 minutes.

Too bad that she has a very determined mother

who will not back down once the word 'no' has been used.

Get used to it baby girl.

Learn what the word means and then back away. 

Ha!

Swimming in my pool with Daddy!
This was the second swim of the day.

And of course, trying to convince my best bud to get in with me!

After supper she spies the pool again.
Please mom please!
I've only been in there TWICE today already!

Poor child. Life is so rough!  

Waaaaaaaaa... my mommy is so mean! Waaaaaa!
