Summer 2015

Summer 2015- Green hair, same clothes, not a lot of brushing hair or violin. Sun burns and bathing suits all day even to bed. Driveway full of strollers and bikes and crackers and garbage. Hose permanently turned on and water balloons in every nook and crevice. Late nights and late mornings with too many Jesse episodes. Sugar for breakfast lunch and dinner with a “treat” in-between.

Leaving every door open, inviting every fly in and leaving trails of food and wrappers wherever they go. Sunday hikes with lots of complaining, and going all day until they crawled into bed. 3 year olds keeping up with 9 year olds and running back and forth across the neighborhood 12 hours straight. Everyday. I’d say it was perfect!
