We love Summer. We love the pool. I love the cheesy smiles. 

Last time I wrote a bit about all the loveliness of Summer .   Does anyone else suffer from allergies?  It kind of puts a damper on everything else.  I have good days and bad days.  The last couple have been doozies and I am either cotton headed from the allergies or doped up on various allergy medications.  (Various because one works better but makes me pretty loopy the other seems to have a delayed loopy reaction) I've tried everything.  The only thing I remember (but remember loopy? it makes memory difficult too) is that Chlor Trimeton works.... but I can't find it.  Apparently it's not as popular.  I feel like I spend a fortune in allergy meds because I waste time and money on ones that just make me drowsy (read: make me fall asleep 30 minutes after taking them).  Really I'm just complaining because I have nothing else to blog about in my cotton-headed-state.  Sean commented the other day that he associates me and summer wit...

Summer: Swimsuits Sunscreen Towels Water Cold soda tan lines Sandals Ceiling fans Popsicles Hats Sunglasses Laundry lines Warm Bright Lovely Fun fun fun! I spy with my little eye something RED! And check out the sweet shades my sister sent me (PS I don't always wear these but needed something today and thought why not? I got a lot of looks but nobody dared to say anything. I love them. Not the red ones I found in a drag Queen store but that's a story for another day. And hot pink is so the next best thing! Thanks Christie!)

Keeping up one house with three children under five is a mighty task.  Keeping up TWO houses? MonuMENTAL! I'm in the process of packing up one house to go into storage for an interem move while trying to get the blue house ready to move in.  So this is my excuse for not blogging. The craft/playroom has its second coat of paint now and needs the trim painted and the shelves need to be hung.  The bathroom is in complete disarray with the ceiling gone now.  I'll have more pictures soon I hope.  I think they're on my Incredible....but they might be on Sean's work phone.  (On the to do list for later.) Meanwhile we spend mornings at the pool where Landon has decided he's not quite ready for swim lessons. Ian on the other hand is a little fishie and loves his lessons.  It can be hard to make it there on time and they start at 9:30.... we'll see how this fall goes with kindergarten in the morning....  We spent a bit of time at the pool after swim l...

Eat Banana Flavored Popsicles I prefer the red ones- cherry maybe? Take silly pictures.  Kissy Face "Droop Shot" Play Catch with Daddy (Also known as Get-Bonked-In-Da-Head-By-Da-Ball with Daddy.  Don't worry- he recovered.) Fetch the ball and Drive Tonka trucks. (This one is a classic- Antique even-  it was Sean's as a kid.) Oh and apparently we don't wear pants at our house... I do- but my kids don't.   And of course when it's hot outside nothing beats a trip to the pool:  I know this one is fuzzy but look at the joy on Landon's face.  My little fishie What you can't really see in this picture is Ian squirting Daddy with the squirt gun at the top of the play area.  Time to warm up This is before his hair cut.  (After Hair Cuts) Two of my boys and a cousin.  So much fun.  Let me clarify: The pictures are from different trips to the pool- I did NOT in fact cut the boys' hair AT...
