I just can't do that.

I had a really cheesy song (from a musical, no less... 10 points if you can guess which one) about summer in my head that I was going to quote for the title of this post, but I just can't do that. So here's how we've been lately, in pictures. You can see we've got our kiddie pool out (finally... I think we've had it nearly a year), that we feed our children junk food, that even when I'm out of doors, I'm hunched over with a book, and that Jared and I are really, really white. =D (the last one is from a father-son camping trip. I just really like the look on Nathan's face... but you'll have to click on it to see it.)

Monkey business

So after Nathan ripped lots of his blinds off...
...and I had Nathan clean up after himself, I decided to let the kids play for like... 5 minutes so I could just go read Marlyse's and Melissa's posts from yesterday and today. I was feeling particularly uplifted and hopeful about things again when I went to check on my kids.When will I learn?? Seriously??

It helps to look at my son while he's sleeping.
And to read blogs written by moms with more patience and perspective than me.
