Bits of Summer

I love the everyday feel of summertime around here. The kids are wearing me out, but in a good way.

Dexter Dexter Dexter these days. Everyone who says two is the hardest age lies. Big fat lies. He is so cute that I just want to squeeze him and never let go. At the same time I also want to lock myself in my bedroom and hide from him. Don't let this picture deceive you, this child never wears pants. Shirts are fine, but underwear and pants, forget it. The messes he makes are horrific, and I swear he is the worst cleaner I have ever met. But he melts me in a way that none of the others do. 

 There is a new local ice cream shop that is on the way to the pool. Coincidence?

 Little Emmy Lu ends up catching a nap whenever she can.
