SUMMER!!!
After work on Friday, we took JonP and Jacob down to the wading pool. JonP had so much fun and was so busy, that he didn't care when his baby brotherr dipped his feet in too. We stayed until JonP's lips were blue and he was shivering. He was fighting us even though he was so cold. We walked around the lake to Tacos Guaymas and had some burritos, then walked back to Mom's house to get our cars.

It was soooo hot yesterday...We skipped a very tempting invitation to a pool party, to work on our jungle of a back yard.
Philip broke out his chain saw and took down some medium sized trees in our yard. He was working most of the day by himself and I felt so useless just inside with the kids. The cleanup seemed so enourmous. I put Jacob in a stoller and JonP strapped inside his red wagon and got to work with the loppers. Soon, Jacob was crying from being bored just sitting there. He was happier in the backpack on my back. Then JonP was yelling "Mommeeeee!!! Mommmeeee!!!" for a whole hour. I just kept answering, "Yes!", until he got hysterical.

Yardwork and small kids don't mix, but at least we made a dent. Those raspberry bushes will soon be withered and dead. Big plans for the yard, front, side and back, but it will take us awhile...
