The Signs of Summer

It must be that time of the year. The kids are counting down the end of school. The mosquitoes are nibbling all of our exposed body parts. The fireflies are flickering in the greenbelt. And our eyeballs are already red with chlorine. SUMMER is here!

And a car wash! Life is good.

Michael Phelps' Smelps... Whatever!

Here are the true Olympians! Brad and Zach really got into the swimming during the Olympics. Brad kept telling me that he was in fact an "expert swimmer" like those guys on TV. The boys decided that we needed to hold our own Olympics "with medals and races and diving." We were all ready-- cupcakes made, invitations crafted, rules written out -- and then it rained and rained. But my OCDish little guys would not let me forget about the event. So, the first night the sky was clear, the Lund Olympics hit the pool. Let the games begin!
