Summer Fun

Here it is - our latest brightly colored plastic acquisition! I don't know how Mitch always manages to get his hands on such cool free stuff, but yet again this was passed on to us from one of Heard & Engel's customers. The boys have been having SO much fun with this, and it's really nice to have something that they can play with on the shady side of the house since the weather has skyrocketed back up to the triple digits again this week.


The boys playing with their buddy-from-next-door, Connor. The cube has also been a big hit with all of the neighborhood kids, naturally.

This little daredevil quickly realized that he could scale to the top of the walls and jump off...

...so his little brother tried to one-up him by clearing the entire slide in one leap. Luckily, he made it uninjured. Not so luckily, this is now their favorite activity, and all of Mommy's hair is turning grey.

Waiting patiently for the ice cream man to drive by. We keep hearing his music, but he rarely makes it all the way down to our end of the neighborhood. At this point, I think we had been waiting outside for him for the better part of two weeks.

Yay, he's finally here!!!

Be sure to share your $1.50 popsicle with your brother (seriously, does anyone else think the ice cream man is kind of expensive these days!?!).

Trading treats is also an acceptable option - just be sure that you keep trading back-and-forth every three minutes!

Ah, summer fun...

just be careful not to eat your ice cream too fast...

BRAIN FREEEEZE!
