Summer Nights

Warm, humid sunshine kept us indoors most of the day. We laid around like lazy cats, stretching every now and again or creeping into the kitchen in search for food. There was talk about what we should do today? Should we go to a dollar movie? Walk around the air conditioned mall? Maybe go to the science center?...we chose to stay home. So we flipped through magazines, took naps, ate watermelon and berries, and sipped sun tea.
As the sun began to fall we dipped our toes outside and saw that the temperature was right.
Right for bluegrass at a nearby town's Farmers Market, right for a friend of CJ's to sleepover, right for ice cream on the drive home. Right for catching lightning bugs in a jar, right for running in the yard in the dark and right for playing two square in the driveway.
Summer nights always feel right.

today

Fresh strawberries, blueberries,bananas, Kefir and beets blended into a yummy smoothie
Her new craft table

Sprinkler fun...wet toes and watercolors
Tool time with a box of wood and grandpa's old work bench

Summer is official

Get outside and enjoy this beautiful day you have been given. Splash in the puddles if it's raining, smell the flowers, climb the trees or enjoy their arms of shade. Collect rocks with your little ones, wiggle your toes in the pool. Eat watermelon and strawberries, and watch the sun go down on the first, official, day of summer.

Monday's Moments

We decorated the driveway

Daddy took her to the park to feed the ducks, run in the grass, and look at airplanes in the sky

We played in the pool while big brother and his friends did fancy footwork on the slip-n-slide

weeeeeeeee...off the slip-n-slide and into the mud

I made a fort that mostly I played in...

aaahh, summer!
