summer summer summertime!

What do you do with an endless stretch of days?

• walks to the local bike shop to practice riding training-wheel bikes
• visits to the parks & playgrounds
• afternoons at the pool (love free public pools in DC!!)
• gelato & lattes (at least one or the other nearly every day)

I have created a monster.  You know you're in trouble when you wake up to: "Mommy, let's go to the coffee shop."  :)

• a visit to the natural history museum (preschool style)
• homemade smoothies (PINK!)  
• clean pantry, organized desk space, paint stain off the couch, fridge clean, floors double-triple scrubbed, furniture & wall hangings re-arranged (quite a chore in this old house with old plaster and brick walls!), laundry under submission, wall-molding dusted, walls scrubbed, cabinets washed, toy bins cleaned and simplified
• play :: trains, blocks, dollies... you name it.
• Dora & Lady and the Tramp

• an hour at the local library 

Check out these cool new books!  We love them!
