End o' Summer

The end of summer is almost here and it can't come any sooner if you ask me. It will be nice to get out more ~ right now it's "Have some water, put on your sunscreen and bug spray, more water, snacks because heat makes us tired more quickly, more water and hats for everyone, please keep your hat on honey and here, drink some more water...wait, where's your hat? Way back there? Here, drink more water while I go back and get it." Fall is so nice in Tucson ~ can you tell I'm ready for the cooler weather?

We've been having fun indoors though and venturing out in the early evening to enjoy the yard and fresh air. Gosh, I make it sound like we stay shut up inside all summer...well, it feels like that. Anyway, there has been lots of cuteness lately...

Rowing in the row boat


Michael in a rare alone moment in the tub

(not many heinie pictures lately! their little butts are so cute!)

Michael in his "catchers mask" while playing baseball with Daddy (Really? You're playing baseball inside? In front of the huge TV? Did Mommy know about this?)

(does anyone agree that he looks like a much cuter, wholesome version of the Mouth of Sauron?)

Pigtails!


Make a silly face!


Riding on the big wheel out back (They're very particular about the set-up ~ Miranda has to be facing one way, and her little feet have to be crossed before the riding can begin!)

Wheeeeee!


Dog pile!
