Things I have learned today...

No matter how many times I turn on the dryer, the clothes will not fold themselves.

A glass of ice tea spilled from a height of about 3 feet will result in a splash about 6 feet wide.

It takes a 3 year old a whole roll of toilet paper to wipe herself after going poopy.

Grape kool-aid comes out of carpet remarkably easier than I would have thought.

Toddlers have two volumes: loud and louder.

Mommy kisses are better than band-aids.
It has been almost a month since I last wrote anything. My life has been busy with the usual things. Son had his first birthday and we had a nice party with the whole family. It was a teddy bear picnic theme complete with a 3D Teddy Bear cake. Daughter has started preschool. She seems to be having a lot of fun and I always enjoying hearing about her day when I pick her up. I always put her papers on the fridge, and she likes to show them to Daddy when he gets home.

Since the weather has been so nice lately, we have been doing a lot of outside activities. We have gone fishing several times. In fact, we have unofficially started what I call the Friday Night Fish Club. We have been to the park and we've done some camping. We also enjoy just sitting on the front porch in the evening. I can tell fall will be here soon and I am so excited. Autumn is my favorite time of year. I am looking forward to the cooler weather, the smell of wood smoke, changing colors of the leaves, festivals, and all the other things that go along with the season. But there are still a few more weekends of summer and my family will squeeze out as much enjoyment as possible before it's time to put the bathing suits away.
