Summertime.The summer is ending. And a little bit of Mer's childhood is ending. But it's not the end. At all. And what is a school year if not a chance to have a new start?
So here's a toast to the end of summer. The last two weeks have been crazy and have cured a few parents I know of most of the melancholy associated with Kindergarten.
Welcome to our driveway artists colony/sauna. Today it's 120% humidity and a heat index of 135. It's not that the kids have been bad during this time of in-between-child-care and endless playdates. But the moms are positively worn out with the coordination of childcare in the midst of changing schedules, new routines, and sick kids. So we toast you summer. You were great. And we recognize that it'll still be hot for about 12 weeks. But we also salute you, symbolic fall. Routine, schedule, and some day...cooler weather. Here's to you.
Extra water for the tomatoes, since the head index is 172 today.
Meet Adam the human water balloon target. Luckily, one rule of the game was that you lost all of your points if you actually hit the person.
Poor Mer would actually have won this athletic event, except she did hit Adam in the leg with the balloon near the end. And I'm pretty sure she meant to. SHE was the one who wanted to have an all out war?! Poor Mer, my foot.

Looks like pretty good times to me. Are those THE water balloons? I can't believe we didn't have to do those when we were there.
