Ahhhhh Summertime!

We hope you're all enjoying a great start to summer. It's been about as beautiful here as we can hope for and Kieran can't seem to get enough of it. Watermelon outdoors is far better than in a high chair in the house. Thanks Shiway for the picture!


Our little outdoor guy. This was his reaction to his first ride on the push merry-go-round at the playground behind the local ice creamery.

He's a slide lover too. Weeeee!

Mommy insists on going for the ride on the big slide though. This nice little girl offered to catch us.
Kieran and his extension cords. He loves them. He insisted on taking this one to the park with us. His other obsession is vacuum cleaners. Since summer arrived and the daycare garden was planted he has been the official (i.e. most enthusiastic about grabbing the hose) waterer. I think we'll be adding garden hoses to his list of obsessions - this makes me grateful that we don't have one.
Ah, cleaning the spatula. An age old kid job and this was Kieran's first shot at it. It was chocolate mousse and whipped cream...I think he liked it.
Kieran at a Mexican themed party last weekend at the neighbor's house. He was super excited to participate in and then watch the big kids...
...whacking a pinata to pieces. The next day we were in the grocery store and all of the sudden he said OOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (that's a REALLY BIG Ooooo!). I turned around and he was pointing up to row of pinatas hanging above the fruit case. If he had had a stick they would have been toast.


Another park evening. It was after daycare and mommy forgot to bring a snack. Big mistake. We borrowed some money from Rachel and got ourselves a hot dog. Kieran loved it, of course, and wouldn't let me even hold the leftover bun for him while he cruised around the playground. Eventually he gave me what was left so he could go down the slide.


Quack quack. I hope these two wanted to get chased. I'm sure they like it.
