Summer is Officially in Full Swing

Kids start camp tomorrow. CSA Farm share is on it!  The pool is open.  Nate had his last day of Kindergarten and his first lemonade stand (He earned $8 of which 10% will go to a charity of his choice).  Family vacay is next month.  Here are some snapshots for ya.  Summertime and the livin' is easy.  Well at least its more fun.

Nate's Last Day of Kindergarten

Radishes for the Feta, Cucumber, Radish Salad

 

 

LJ's impromptu visit to the splash park

Get Your Lemonade! It's 100 degrees!

iPad Extended Warranty

The below picture is proof for why you must buy the extended warranty. Unfortunately, LJ's iPad which he uses for proloquo2go, bit the dust. As it was the first generation iPad, no warranty existed at the time. Still, I think it would have cost a good sum to try repairing it. It was accidentally crushed when folding up LJ's wheelchair to put in the back of the car. You couldn't even turn it on to get to the settings screen. The Otterbox Defender case is 100% intact. As you can see, just the glass and the screen shattered to bits.

I'm off to reconfigure and reprogram the most important parts of P2GO that we lost.  The last back up was done in May.  It's a must before summer camp begins and new folks need to be able to use it for communication with LJ.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you rockstar dads out there. And to mine, the most awesome, bestest, coolest, funniest, smartest, nicest Dad around. Here's a nice photo of my Dad with the family in the spirit of oneness. You rock! PS Regarding that photo above. Yeah, that's circa 1974 and my dad is sporting some nice duds! My big bro too for that matter;) Just a snapshot of what an amazing Dad looked like back then.

It's All About Moderation

I like to keep things balanced- I enjoy a nice glass of wine as much as anyone. Those who knows me also realize how much I love yoga.  Here's a fun you tube video about Yogi wine lovers to make you smile.

First Fort

Anna, our fabulous caregiver, crafted this giant fort in the family room with the boys the other day. Turns out Anna's got mad skills.  Lots of climbing things, throwing things, peek-a-boo holes and hanging out watching the iPad once the fort was secured.  Nate has a permanent installation in his bedroom now. There are limitations of this sort of thing.  I have to duck very low to get near the bunk bed when Nate's asleep, and usually I trip over the mound of pillows, stacks of Pokemon cards, favorite stuffed animals, books and balls he has been squirreling undercover. 

The siblings might just be perfecting the art of using every sheet and blanket in the house this summer break;) Only six more days of school!




I'm going to whip up a portable fort-making-supplies suitcase to have at the ready for the next imaginative foray into fort building. (Early intervention helps to prevent my bed sheets from being drawn into the fort supply arsenal.)  Can't wait to go get in more adventures with my boys- name of the game is about limitless possibilities and maximum comfort.
