Early Summer

 

Today was the perfect early summers day.

We spent the morning at our local farmer’s market- complete with honey sticks (anyone?), doughnuts, and a half-flat of strawberries that is already mostly gone.

Isaac has been covered in red juice all day.

Oh, and a dip in the downtown fountain too. 

In case you were there- my kids were the ones sticking their heads in the fountain and shaking like dogs.  And getting completely soaked.  Oh, and- in Joseph’s case- stripping NAKED for a brief jaunt until I grabbed him and made him put back on shorts.

(Some peonies from my backyard.  And if you have an eagle eye, you might spot that its in a Stella bottle…)

We picked up some pizzas to bake at home, had some friends over for dinner, and went outside for a bike ride / to plant flowers until it got dark at 9:20.

There was a brief incident with a HORNET in the van while I was on the headset ordering the pizzas, but other than that it was a really stress-free day!

(I tried to bat it out the window, and it fell off and landed on my ARSE, and I had to drive with my derriere in…well…the air and towards the window while trying to fan it off.  So.  That wasn’t so neat.)

Staying at home year-around, I kind of struggle with making the seasons special. 

 

 

(making batman hit my stomach)

So, I am working on a summer fun list with the boys (which I will post on here when I’m done)

but trying to keep everything else on the docket low-key, filled with ice cream, BBQs, and chlorine smells.

who’s with me?
