It is so good you have managed to read and relax a little @Snowie - must be extremely hard in that kind of temperature. We are to hit 40 here today also and it is already sweltering outside. Luckily my house keeps cool when all closed up so the heat is not getting in yet. Keeping Toby and Cat inside - Toby is easy because he will be wherever I am but Cat wants to go out ...is presently sitting near the back door. Hopefully she will move off to her room or the bedroom again soon where it is much cooler.
It sounds like the kids are really enjoying themselves so they must think christmas has come every day for now - great for them and lovely for you to witness also 
Keep us updated when you can and above all enjoy the time while you are there. Love and hugs to you Hon
