07.22.10

I can't believe July is almost over! Today was a perfect summer day for us: long afternoon at the pool with some friends of mine from work, then home for dinner and some ice cream, and finished up by working outside and enjoying the summer evening. Monkey was waving frantically to The Hubs as he mowed but the two just couldn't seem to coordinate their timing so Monkey and I went out and sat on the front steps and watched The Hubs finish up. Then Monkey wanted to help water the flowers... and the house... and himself
For a good 20 minutes he entertained himself by making a line with sidewalk chalk with one hand then watering it down with the hose in the other. After pushing his dump truck across the lawn a few times and making multiple trips down the slide, it was time to get this muddy, grassy mess inside. Needless to say that between pool time, no nap, and lots of yardwork, he was asleep in no time:"You belong among the wildflowers,
You belong somewhere close to me.
Far away from your troubles and worry,
You belong somewhere you feel free."
--"Wildflowers" Tom Petty
