Chris was on a (really super awesome I love my company can I have some more Kool-Aid please?!) business trip all week, and his first night back in town we acquired two more boys for the evening. Emily and David missed Daddy a lot this week, but they had a lot of fun hanging out just the two of them. Friday’s visit with Jake and Toby was a lot of fun, and David got to play with 17 different versions of Mater and Lightning McQueen. Over the weekend we ran a little, biked a lot, and just enjoyed the lovely weather and each other’s company. We went to the pool (where David got stung by a bee…at least we now know he’s not allergic to bee stings), took a trip to the hardware store (not that noteworthy except that David likes to sit on the riding mowers when we go to Home Depot) and had a delicious steak dinner in honor of Father’s Day. To Jerry and Paul, thank you for making us the people we are. To Christopher, thank you for being the kind of man that I want my son to grow up to be.

This is why Emily hates painting so  much.  While Chris was gone, she re-painted part of the bathroom, and had a primer malfunction.  The worst part about i (besides the taste)?  The brand of primer is called "Killz". Awesome

If he aims it just right, it also gets nearby pool-goers wet with a fine, cold spray of water

Feet are fun, too.  Why pay money for one of those jet spa pedicures when you can just go to the YMCA and stick your feet on the playground?

Sometimes his plan backfires and he hits himself in the face with the water.  Mommy laughs when that happens...is that wrong?

And, it's also very fun to "hide" under the picnic tables.  Why else would you go to the pool?
