Eww. A few cobwebs hanging around the old blog. Mighty dusty too.
So what, you may be asking yourself, has kept this humble blogger from writing? Unfortunately, there is no answer. Or, if there is, I fear it may be so mundane or trite as to disappoint. Since Thursday, we've been doing a lot of nothing special, which is the way summer is supposed to progress, if you ask me. We've run through the sprinkler and played with the garden hose. We've watched thunderstorms and slapped at mosquitoes. We've gone 4-wheeling and rode bicycles. We've drawn with chalk on the front sidewalk and we've played Hungry, Hungry Hippos on the rainy days. In essence, what we've done is the kind of stuff that when someone asks, "What have you been doing lately?" you answer "Nothin' much."
And it's been great. Except for the mosquitoes part. Deer flies are out too. Say goodbye to long walks after dinner.
The boys have been doing well. The Governor, especially, is picking up and applying all sorts of good information. This morning The Senator was a bit crabby at breakfast, and The Gov pointed a small finger at him and said, "I think YOU need to go back to bed!" Of course this threw The Senator into a tizzy which flared into a full-blown tantrum when I said, "Hey, Governor, that's just what I was going to say."
The tempest has passed, and now we're all playing quietly in the basement for a while before we head outside. I believe it is shaping up to be a great day for water balloons.
You have Hungry, Hungry Hippos?!!?? I wanted that game soooo bad when I was little. I'll have to come over to play it!
