we've only had a handful of summer days where we've been able to throw on swimsuits and drag out the pool. it's been nice, but not that nice. so naturally, when the skies are clear and our thermometer reads 68+, we make a beeline for the hose and sprinklers.
i'm not sure how bunny ended up outside, but he went for a dip, as well.
best drink name EVER:
appley ever after
once the kiddos were red-cheeked and wrinkly-fingered, we made our way inside to a cozy-warm bath. and what's the first thing you want to do after swimming or playing in the sunshine? fuel up. whatta treat to watch a movie and have dinner in bed; grilled cheese, green apples, carrots & ranch and a sippy of milk. man, i wanna be a kid again!
about a week later, we had another sunny day. so obviously, we took full advantage again. this time, a certain little fellow was waiting for us: the very hungry caterpillar. jack has LOVED this book for years. over the past few months, i've caught him reading the book to dylan. he even reads it with the same inflection that i use - whatta crack up! we have three copies of this book (in all shapes and sizes) and yet, the kids still fight over who gets the little one, who gets the largest one, etc. so seeing our own hungry caterpillar was quite a welcomed surprise. (but, the poo on jb's hand was not welcomed...)
"he started to look for some food..."
later that night, dada brought home a surprise for the kids: a frog! he found it at work and brought it home in an empty water bottle. he thought (we both thought!) the kids would be thrilled - oh, we assume! - but they wanted nothing to do with it! dylan screamed. jack shrieked. we laughed. it was a nice idea at the time.
keeping a safe distance
