the best day of summer

well, maybe not the very best day of summer, but it was pretty good.

the kids watched some of the Olympics this morning, played games and the little kids colored pictures. They went outside for a while and thought today would be good for a picnic, and it was a good day for one. It was bright and a nice dry 80 degrees outside.

a perfect lunch of tuna sandwiches and pickles is worth the squish onto an itty bitty picnic table.




A couple of hours later we had a sudden roll in of thick, dark rain clouds.
Well, you haven't truly lived until you've played in the rain. And likewise, you have not truly experienced childhood until you've played in the rain.



they didn't get muddy out in the driveway. The messy face is attributed to the cookie he ate out in the rain.

Even with the chocolaty mess, I so love this beautiful face.

Ah, a Minnesota summer rainstorm.... memories...

I think the chocolatey mess makes him even more beautiful!

almost 2 years have gone by

why do I always do this? so many things have happened in the past two years.  I just feel so silly that I haven't kept up on the blog.  ...
