You know its summer when your child spends the whole day, literally, in his swimming trunks and the smell of sun screen doesn’t even register anymore. Maysen once-darkening hair is now back on the blonder side and his skin is turning more brown as the days pass by.
Today Maysen had his best bud from school, Roman, over for the afternoon. They have swimming lessons together on Tues/Thursdays and last week Roman’s mom took Maysen so I could stay home with 2 babies before I left for work. Today I took Roman and after swimming lessons they had a fun picnic outside on the deck. I honestly think Bailey ate most of their lunch – it was too much fun to have her fetch their pieces of cheese off the deck. Ha!
With July 4th being so close I couldn’t resist getting them each multiple bags of “Pop-Its”. My driveway looks like 32 boxes of Kleenex exploded on it, but the boys had fun throwing them, then driving over them with the racecar looking for “duds” that would fire under their tires.
What warm summer day would be complete without a water gun fight? Uh, NONE! It actually lasted more than the 2.5 minutes I thought it would and they got good and soaked. In they came and put the rest of their energy into building “Big Track City” …. Yes; that was the official name. I knew it was time for the play date to end when they started bickering like the couple on “Grumpier Old Men”. This track wasn’t right, and the bridge wasn’t working right, and Roman’s train was longer than Maysen’s, and Maysen wasn’t being fair …. Roman was a delight to have over and so polite! It’s refreshing when you see little tiny friendships blossoming …

Awww. :) Is that Roman?
Sounds like they had a blast... Can't wait to see you guys in a couple weeks.
The water gun shot in the face had me snickering out loud. Boys. What's with that?!? Hee hee.
Great shots!
