We had a brief respite from the rain in the middle of the week. Bun and I played with some sidewalk chalk in the afternoon. He was only interested in the chalk for a little bit. The main attraction was definitely driving his “Dumpity Truck” and “Gween Garbage Truck” outside. After we drove the trucks for a while he said “Fun- Whee!!!” Only his Whee sounds very stern. Such a serious little man.
Now that he is 21 months, Bun is definitely getting into more artsy stuff, we have done quite a few fun little crafty things lately. In spite of the short time span spent sidewalk chalking (is that a word?) I think we are going to try it again next time we have lazy afternoon.

I take it your yard isn’t the mosquito den our is, then, huh?
Our backyard is awful, the front of our house is a little better because we don’t have too many trees out front. Seriously,I want all these mosquitoes gone.
I think it’s the entire city. When we were house-hunting, I got chewed up in the yard of nearly every place we looked at. It’s MISERABLE. I hate not being able to sit out on the deck. What’s it there for?!
