Is It Summer Yet?

Dave and I lived in California for 4 years and during
that time I discovered that I'm a California girl at heart. I LOVE warm weather! It was so nice to get out this weekend and enjoy being outside. On Friday, we found our first pet bug. Sophia discoved a potato bug (I don't know what they're really called) and was thrilled. I never thought it possible that MY offspring could enjoy bugs, but both of them do- especially Sophia. We brought the bug inside (despite my complete revulsion) and gave him a home in a jar. Fortuately, it didn't live for long but the kids keep reminding me that we need to go explore and find another one.








On Saturday, Dave (my hero) washed both of our cars. It is so nice to have clean cars again. The twins helped and got completely soaked. I helped Will and Sophia learn to ride their tricycles and they had a blast. Eva sat in the stoller and enjoyed watching the 3-ring circus.

This afternoon I plan on taking the kids to the park. Swings are their absolute favorite, so we'll venture out of the neighborhood and find them some swings. We've got to enjoy it while we can, it's supposed to be cold and rainy tomorrow and then my longing for California will return.

There is a really good cure for your Californiaitis...come to Arizona. Wholly cow, it was 96 degrees today. The kids are really cute, hopefully we'll be able to come up and visit this summer.

Isn't this weather just ridiculous? Ahhh!!! Well, anyhow, your kids are so adorable. I love Eva's little grin with the tongue. Could she get any cuter?
