Why I love it when Dave's done teaching for the summer
me: Hey, is this a bad time?
Dave: Nope, what's up?
me: Is your afternoon totally booked up?
Dave: Nope, why?
me: Do you think you can sneak out to get some ice cream with me and Henry?
Dave: I'm running out to the front of the building right now!
That was yesterday, and it was glorious. A week ago his response to each of those questions would have been "AUUUUUGGGGHHHH!" The bonus was that I had to explain to Henry exactly what I meant by "sneaking out of work to get some ice cream." Glad he's got that concept down at such a young age.
Today we pulled out our wading pool, had lunch outside, came inside to cool off, worked on filling out tax forms for Henry's school (me), tortured the dog (Henry), got sent to bed for torturing the dog and not fessing up to what exactly he did to make her bark (Henry), cleaned the kitchen when she should have been napping (me). Looking forward to an evening spent wading-pool-side while Dave bbq's, if he's up for it.

I love ice cream. Haven't had any in MONTHS! And now I have flip flops coming and it'll be many more MONTHS until I eat ice cream again. Hope it was good! :)

Yum! Did you guys go to the Freeze? So jealous - we spent a rainy day indoors with sniffly noses!

Now we just have to consume massive quantities of deep fried seafood at the fence next...

That was definitely more than a hint of summer we had, but yesterday was the day imho...and a relief! Although ice cream, relaxing, water are always a great combination.
