Swimsuits, sprinklers, ice cream and children....

Don't you agree....swimsuits, sprinklers, ice cream and children all go together. At least they did at our house yesterday. With the temperature rising quickly here in Boise, the kids suggested some cold water in the yard and ran to get their swimsuits on. They spent the entire afternoon and evening running around in swimsuits, including dinner, as we sat on the patio. You gotta love the decrease in laundry in the summer, especially when swimsuits are worn half of the day. We tried our best to only give Drew part of one of the "Drumstick" ice cream cones, but he would have absolutely none of that. He wouldn't even look at the bottom half or the top half of one that had broken. So, he ended up with a whole one and ate the entire thing. Obviously he is the 3rd child.....I would have probably offered Amelia a few licks of mine just 3 years ago.

Mitch and Amelia totally enjoying their ice cream. Sitting still, next to each other long enough for me to get a picture...a very infrequent occurance!

Life is good for Mitch and Amelia. How much happier could one be?

And Drew....about 30 minutes later from the one above. Shoving the last part of the ice cream cone into that little mouth. Ahhh.....I am so glad warm weather is here!

And thank goodness that children are washable!
