Sometimes a child’s imagination manifests itself in ways that adults just don’t understand.
Why would you play in a sprinkler, but block the water with an umbrella?
Does that make any sense?
To me, it’s an imperfect execution of water play. To them, it’s a whole lotta fun.
Ah, summer. I heart you.

I grew up on classic rock….Bruce Springsteen, The Who, Tom Petty, Queen. My dad made sure I had an appreciation for the music, quizzing me about band members as we drove down the road, turning up the songs on the radio as loud as was acceptable.
I also grew up a […]
This was a down week…only one or two things planned. I like having things to do and places to go during the summer, but I definitely like to have some relaxed, take it easy, do whatever we feel like doing time, too. It never got above 80 degrees, though, so […]
So, it’s summer break, and it’s been raining (and kind of chilly) on and off all week. Last week was bible school, so there wasn’t much cabin fever happening. But this week, other than The Wizard of Oz, we didn’t have much to do.

I had packed a whole cooler full of gluten free food for the younger […]
Summer break has started! I’m both excited and scared! But really, we have a lot of fun things planned, plus plenty of down time, so it should be good. May 18 I finished the weekend with the Mamavation 5K (and ended the #2weekchallenge). I tried really, really hard to get […]
