Generally we try to get to the park about once a week, which is a nice outlet for us. We went as a family on Saturday and, while Reid was pushing Kai in the swing, Kai said "I'm having a good day at the park!" He thought it was fantastic! And it made me feel a bit guilty. We try to get outside every morning and play in our yard or on the driveway, but we don't get to the park as much as we could I guess. The best solution to that would be to put up a swingset in the yard--but I'm afraid that's a few years off.
On the positive side, everything has finally come together on the prairie dog extermintaion and we're hoping to see the start of that in the next couple of weeks. Which means that we'll once again be doing some long days of yard work, but it should be worth it.
While the days are hot, we generally have a bit of rain or a thunderstorm every afternoon. Kai actually gets excited for them and knows that he should count the number of "super sleuths" (aka seconds) between the "flashes" and the the thunder. It's really cute! Unfortunately, by the time we all go to bed the temperature in the house manages to sneak up to 80 or 85 degrees. Ugghh! It's made for some long nights, both for us and Kai. If we put him down in just a diaper and shorts, I'm up in the early hours to cover him up as the temperature drops. And so far, he's always caught me--dang it! That means I have to spend a few minutes comforting him before laying him back down. It definitely cuts into my sleep time, which is becoming more and more precious as I become more uncomfortable at night.
But I love summer! I love that we can play outside and I love that I'm enjoying this time with our "precious" boy. It's been a good month, despite the lack of anything exciting. I may even say, that's the best kind of month.
A rainbow leading to our house. This was actually partof a triple rainbow that we saw after a thunderstorm!
