Summer has arrived (I feel like we went straight from snowy too cold to play outside to summer but that is another topic!). We have really been enjoying spending our days outside. All day!
Lydia is learning to swing herself (hurray!!!!!).
Isaac has a message for park developers "can the baby swings be close to the big kid swings???". I am needing to re-priortize our park visits keeping both of my kiddos in mind. This is a favorite park but is big and the little kid places and far away from the big kid stuff (which has up until this year been a plus for any park!).
But Isaac is learning to self entertain very nicely.
Lydia chooses to play with Isaac because she is also learning to self entertain!
AND then a huge surprise! Dad finished the swing set. Whoohoo!!!!!!! Every mom needs a swing set - forget carseats, strollers, cribs - Swing sets people!
The sign of a great day - spaghetti sauce on the face, scraped up knees, covered in mud. Happiness when you are three!
And our new favorite past time "brother and sister sliding". Best part works on Mom's reflexes because they are getting faster and faster every day and at the end Lydia is going to let go and Isaac is going to jump!
At the end of every hot summer day, a Popsicle is a must. (And I have to admit James and I thought it would be funny to feed a cold treat to our little guy who hates anything cold but loves anything mildly sweet!).

| I love this! |
 |
| It is getting cold. |
 |
| But if I hold it like this then it isn't cold. |
 |
| But the treat fell out of the paper and now it is cold all over! |
 |
| And that makes me sad! |
 |
| Oh, Isaac. It is just a Popsicle! They taste good. Lots of tasty treats are cold. Hey mom, can I have ALL of Isaac's cold treats??? |
