Kayaking with Andrew

1 Comment

Photo-A-Day #3379

Today we were being visited by my in-laws. Rather than wait around for them to arrive and have both kids underfoot as we attempt to get the house ready I decided to take Andrew out of the equation and take him kayaking with me. This would give us a little time together out of the house and give Allison one less kid to entertain/worry about. It also helped that she could go to the store with only one of the kids. Andrew tends to make the supermarket visit a bit challenging.

Andrew did pretty well in the kayak with me. Having the whole seat to himself was a plus. He didn’t fidget around, too much and I only had to have him pull his hands out of the water a couple of hundred times. At one point I splashed him a bit with the paddle to get his attention. He loved it and wanted to be splashed more. That backfired.

Ice Cream for Dinner


Photo-A-Day #3378

Some night’s it is just so hot that you don’t want to cook anything. On those nights, on those rare occasions we’ve been known to have ice cream for dinner. On those night’s it is best just to forget about calorie count and enjoy something to help cool off.

And cooling off is what we needed today. It was hot, so hot. I finally got to the gutters. Our gutters haven’t been cleaned since I did it last, over two years ago. The crap that has come off the tree and landed on the little roof by the back porch has made a definite fertile compost because I had these growing in the gutters.
