-Henry James
You can say what you want about what it's like having All These Children. But any day that ends with ice cream in the pool? Is a good one.
I love Lucy's expression here. It's as if she's saying: Don't even think about messing with my ice cream. Me? I look crabby but I'm honestly not. I'm sitting down and everyone is momentarily happy and not fighting (see: ice cream). Sure I'm tired after a busy weekend, but I'm thinking about the fact that bedtime is in an hour and the Tony Awards are on later. Weeeeee!
This morning when Erin woke me up at 6:50 a.m. (an hour otherwise known as Sleeping In at our house) and informed me that Leo was the only kid awake? Let's just say we high-fived each other and whispered "We broke them!" Ah, summer. Long days outside with water, the great equalizer. Another bonus: water tables and pools mean no pre-bed bath required (I say this as though we bathe them daily. I assure you, we do not.
"Look at Lucy," said Ellie.
"She looks so old-like a first grader. But not as tall."
In entomology news, you may have heard about our region's little cicada situation.
Yup. Leo can confirm it.
