Happy Summer Days

I love summer.

For me, 'it's the most wonderful time of the year." Yeah...Christmas is nice but you have to wear socks in December. And coats. And sometimes {gasp} hats and scarves.

Blech.

So. Back to summer.
Ahhhhh......
Flip-flops, sprinkler's, popsicles, lemonade.

It's our first week of summer vacation and we are lovin' it! After two days of 60 degree weather, it warmed up nicely yesterday and today.

{If it's above 50 degrees my kids start asking to run through the sprinkler.}

Yesterday the temperature was high enough, so they gleefully put on their swimming suits and set up the sprinkler in the back yard.

Put your right arm in and shake it all around...
"It's not that c-c-cold, Mom!"
Put your right hip in and put your right hip out...
Katie picked out this swim suit.
Wheee...so fun!
Childhood is a wonderful thing

Is it me or does she look like she's using one of those fancy bum cleaners?
Zoey's 'pros-other' foot held up well. She was delighted when her water-sodden sock started to make squishing noises.
Katie's tutu suit is ridiculously cute

When they got too cold to keep running through the freezing water, everyone ended up hanging out on the deck munching graham crackers.
Yum!
Big sister starts a toe-nail painting party
Lookin' good Katie!
SaraGrace chooses blue
And 'pros-other' foot gets a manicure too {and we need to scrub that foot!}
Waiting for her nails to dry
"Zoey...what do you think of your toe nails?"
Zoey's leg is starting to look like it has gone through a war. The girl is all-out-action all day long!

Jake was camera shy today, but he WAS there. And he actually went through the sprinkler
{as opposed to last year when he just skirted the perimeter and pretended to get wet}.
