Writing about all the big & little things

The first day of summer!

Today is officially summer in this household.

I know, I know… it’s not REALLY summer yet, but back in the winter when Chloe would ask day after day “when is summer?” I finally settled on the answer of “after my studio recitals.”

And she has an unusually good memory.

So she woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed, put on her new summer outfit, ran in to my bedroom (where I was happily sleeping, er, strike that, HAD been sleeping) and announced “IT’S SUMMER!

It took quite a bit of coercion to get her into a more sensible (60 degree weather) outfit and then more discussion about how it really wasn’t the perfect day to go to the beach.   Or to run in the sprinkler.   🙂

We did have fun today, in spite of dashing all her hopes and dreams of what summer was going to be like.  We got to spend a lot of time at the park (because of a house showing this morning) and I even set up their tent in the yard.   I can’t believe we were ever able to set that up in my studio when we gave it to them at Christmas–it’s HUGE!  They’ve been having a blast playing it in for hours now…
