Summer Days

The rain finally stopped and the sun came out long enough for us to set up the little pool this weekend. It was AWESOME. Summer is finally, finally here. We splashed and ran through the sprinkler and played on the swing. Occasionally we helped Matt with something or did a load of laundry but those productive moments were few and far between.

Ethan today:

It is really hard to keep clothes on that kid!

Evan liked the water, too. He crawled around on his tip-toes and fingertips to keep his head up. Genius! I will need several extra assistants, though, before I can attempt to handle the camera and that slippery baby at the same time. He didn't get a poppa-sikkle afterwards, either. What an unjust world.
