A cold week

At the begging of Feb. it was  actually COLD here in Arizona. It is rather ironic that I should do this post today…at the moment it is at least 80 outside, if not hotter. And it’s 79 inside with the windows open…Ugh!

But a couple weeks ago it was cold, and the boys enjoyed playing outside in the coldness…I guess because it is a novelty here :)

 

One morning our water wouldn’t turn on due to frozen pipes, but luckily it thawed out in a few hours, and no major damage was done to the pipes. We do need to replace one part on the irrigation system, but thankfully the actual pipes are fine. Apparently lots of people in Tucson were without heat due to problems with the gas lines, but we don’t have gas…just electric, so that didn’t effect us either.

Erik’s school got cancelled one day due to broken pipes and heating issues. It’s pretty funny that we can have a “snow day” here with absolutely NO snow. I mean it wasn’t really a snow day…just a “damage due to cold weather day”? or something… but still ;)
