Slip-n-Slide Day

Today was a hot summer day and we celebrated by getting a new slip-n-slide before swimming lessons. After our quiet time we put it out front and the whole neighborhood came by!

We had watermellon and took turns with the Super Soakers and water balloons. This is one of the many perks of living here; it's one big family. It was great fun!!

I'm not sure if I killed by grass or not, but you can sure tell where the slide was!!


Tomorrow is my birthday, the big 2-8. Nate is getting off work early and we're heading to Portland to have dinner at one of my favorites . We'll probably go to a movie afterward, but we're playing it by ear. The boys are staying here with Nate's mom...so it'll be a date day for Nate and I.

Maysen had his first dentist appointment on Tuesday. He did great! He was actually excited and when Dr P asked how his summer was, he went on and on about birthday parties, pools, swimming lessons, his favorite toy ... it was great. They counted his teeth (10 in all!), showed him all the tools, let him wear gloves. Next week we actually do the cleaning, but we've prepared with multiple dental books, including the Berenstein Bears Go to the Dentist. So, we'll see how it goes!
