We bought 15 pounds of blueberries last week. The first 5-pound box is gone. You can see who's at fault. (That's right, I'm the mom who eats the last piece of cake and says, "The kids must have sneaked it," after wiping the crumbs off my mouth.) Good friend Megan is...

Swinging alone and swinging together. New mystery cars making friendships last better. Impromptu exploring on our favorite beach; no swimsuits, no problem, just undies for each. Intricate details on large coloring paper complete these extra fun summertime capers....

The new kittens were old enough for playing when we went to Michigan a few weekends. (We went for Jon's graduation, but that's being saved for the next post:)) These kittens were super friendly with Corban and Jaeda's rough play. Corban was so patient waiting...

Corban was given a helmet recently. He wore it for two days straight. Our summer goal is to get him to ride all the way to the library (and back)--a one-mile roundtrip! He reminds me every time he rides, every time we drive, every time...

Playdough gets out many fingers wiggles. Kissing hands make little ones giggle. Only cool cats rock out to fake tunes. While C & A trade (some) clothes in afternoons. I've reinstated independent readingin hopes that 15 minutes we'll soon be exceeding. ...
