Basement Delight
The thermometer rose today and our walk this morning was canceled so Magoo and I went thrifting and scored some great pillow cases for some pajama pants! A great project for this afternoon in the basement to stay as cool as possible. Finally the heat lifted a little for a little outside fun in our new pajama pants! I couldn't pick one fave so you get them all!!
Thanks Amy for the inspiration for these pants.

It's Summer
OK, it's been forever since I've updated this, as usual I suppose. I remember a moment in May or maybe June thinking I should make a goal to post here every day . . . ha ha, at least I was realistic enough to know that wasn't going to happen. Or did I post that? Anyway, I get behind then I think to make up for it I'll post a whole bunch and get everyone caught up, which them makes me avoid posting at all because well then I'd have to sort photos, choose the ones I want from how many events ago? So I couldn't possibly do it in 10 minutes, so here I am, I'm just going to post what I have when I have it. I probably could do more if I chose not to write my stream of consciousness to but hey, that's me!
Summer has been in full swing for 2 or three weeks now, we had a great time up north for like a week frog catching with R. It was a last minute run up north and it was a lot of fun. Here are some highlights!
Already a Birder!
PEMA
Teaching G'ma J about edamame
Rainy birding day in Duluth
Sandhill crane and baby
Dragon Fly event, tons of them coming out of their nymph stage on the water's edge, I had so much fun photographing these, and Magoo entertained himself so well I sort of lost myself in the moment for a while!
Tiger swallowtail butterfly
Suni's settled into her own with her old age, the perfect companion for Magoo
A finale for the week and B's B-day SUSHI, YUMMMMM!
Just a fave

Jokes
At what point to kids get jokes and how to make them??
Today I gave him some frog jokes to tell papa, here's how it went.
(King with a little prompting on the first two, the second two, well I'll think you'll see were not aided.)
Why are frogs happy?
Papa: I don't know
Because they eat what bugs them.
What happened to the frogs car?
Papa: I don't know
It got toad.
Why do cats and kittens meow?
Papa: Skeptical look: I don't know.
Because the like to.
Why do bears eat honey?
I don't know.
Because they like to.
And so ends our first joke session.
And as I sit down to type this here what happened next.
Can you please get me the iphone-itouch?
No you don't read it right now.
Yes I do, I need to check the weather.
(I did not get it, despite his sound argument)

What??
I can't resist posting this sign I found at a playground. . . what kind of society do we live in, but then one of my friends just asked why they make lowrise pants for four year-olds. . . that kind apparently.

June!
Oh, I am so thrilled with June's arrival. We've almost completed painting our exterior! Hurray, tho the basement is a total disaster and dishes seem to keep piling up, how does that happen? I emptied my craft area to sort it out, sorta, I'm in complete influx. It needs to be cleared out to move to the next project, installing the new hot water heater we've had sitting in the basement for over a year! Then too, I really hate to put everything back to just remove it later this summer when the basement remodel begins, but I'm afraid I will begin tackling it, hmmmmm, next week. The exterior will be done and classes begin again for B. so I can get some sort of a routine going.
Anyway, that and school ending way back in earlier May is what has kept me away. So What's happened since then??
Happy Mother's Day. I spent a wonderful day with my own mother and my sister and our significant others and Magoo, whom I've found I'm mostly calling Munch (as in munchkin) or punkin/punkin head as my dad taught me. We went on a great picnic and played a great round of mini golf. Munch thoroughly enjoyed it and described the day to us repeatedly since.
Hockey or Golf?
Very fun mini golf course
We also celebrated the 4th birthday of another friend and while I can't post the pictures of the kiddos at the party the decorations were so fantastic straight out of a magazine I have to share them here. This mom is amazing, her sense of style and art and how she herself and her creations including but not limited to her children can bring sunshine into even the darkest of rooms!
He's talking and saying such fantastic things lately, it's so fun, we're moving a little beyond the questioning everything phase. Today he read me a book. It was a new book we've never read before about a platypus, I'm not sure he knows this animal ut he looked at the pictures and told me a story as I turned the pages. I mostly remember that it was about a pududdle (platypus??) swimming and then "finding another pududlle but no it was a beaver but it was friendly and so he was happy . . .)
One more thing, I'll snap a photo next time . . . we rode on our favorite trail today to the creek and Munch has learned to lift his feet and coast while riding his skuut! But even more fun is his friend, let's call her Sweets, she rode up next to him and said "I love you, tingsley." He said, "Do you like my helmet, it has blue flames?" Such a guy already? But wait he redeems himself!
Near the end of the ride, and they rode a long way, he rides next to Sweets and says "I love you." To which she replies to her mom, "I need to get off my bike and give him a hug." So she dismounts walks the one step to him give him a hug, rather, they hug. As she steps away, wait for it here comes his redemption, he says, "I need to give you a kiss, Sweets." He bumps her in trying to raise her head and sweetly apologizes then gives her a kiss. This is a regular occurrence for the two of them, this kissing, don't worry we're watching them, though it's not a match we object to. Of course Sweets is well sweet but there's a few others we'd approve of as well, as if we'd get any say.
