Summer Summer is so fun!

I'm loving summer. We try to spend as much time outside as possible. He probably spends 2-3 hours every day riding bikes with the neighbors or playing outside with them. It is awesome! The problem is that I have to go out there with him since our street has quite a few cars and he sometimes gets crazy ideas about riding his bike in front of cars. So instead of working productively inside, I sit on a camp chair in the shade and read a book or play on my phone. I love it, except when I walk inside for those few moments during meals and naps when I stare in disgust at my dirty house. That's when I decide we'll be eating outside for lunch. :) I figure that summer is for play and winter is for cleaning up the mess you made during the summer. I'll need something to do during the cold months anyway. Listen to me justify away...

One of our favorite things is Wednesdays when I get to watch my nephews. Teagan loves having a constant playmate! They cut into cutting things with Teagan's plastic knives for a little while and the couch was perfect for slicing in half.

Yesterday, I showed Teagan how to hang upside down on the bar and we perfected his "jumping out of the swing" skills. He was upside down for most of the afternoon, he is so cute.

My garden just keeps growing. The tomatoes are out of control, but none have turned red yet, there are probably at least 30 in there though, when they turn red we're going to be having a lot of bruschetta. yummmmmmm

The Pumpkin plant has gotten WILD! it is overtaking the grass trying to get more sunshine and is attacking the dryer vent for heat. There are about a million pumpkins.

This is the largest pumpkin so far, is is about the size of a softball. I can't wait for Halloween!

We love summer. wahhooooooo
