summertime

nothing like an old slip 'n' slide and a hose to revive a boring summer afternoon during addie's naptime.
[editor's note: carson really REALLY wanted to just play xbox (he got a new lego star wars game for his bday). he was annoyed with me that i wouldn't let him. but it's SUMMER, i told him. and a fine day at that. we're hanging outside, i told him. he was mad enough that i almost gave in. but i didn't.

back me up, here, folks. pretty please. am i so mean?]

Cute chair, fun family vacation - I barely recognized your little brother and sister....
And yes you're the BEST mean mom for making your kid go outside, enjoy the nice weather and healthy exercise. :) Way to hold strong!!

This is going to be the biggest battle of this century (video games). I am dreading the day Cole wants to start playing video games, I seriously am. Especially during the summer. It is flying by--I think you're a PERFECTLY PERFECT mother for doing that ;) You got my stamp of approval. In every way. Because I love you. I have a crush on you. I want to be like you. I am tired. I'm going to bed.

Als, can I just tell you how glad I am that you're a regular blogger? Member how we forced you to start up a blog and you were kind of hesitant? And now you are going all pro on us? Yesssss.
