Our first summer-like day

It was a very summery day here today, which we all loved! Ethan had fun playing outside, and especially enjoyed blowing bubbles. Mom got a pedicure so she can be seen in public wearing sandals, and Ethan got his first pair of flip-flops, which make him look like such a big boy!
Daddy had a huge job of raking and bagging up the leaves from the entire lawn. Ethan does not look all amused at daddy's antics below . . . .
After this first taste of summer, I can safely make a make the following predictions about the upcoming months . . . Every evening, Ethan will be in desperate need of a bath, as he always seems to have dirt on his face, hands, and legs as soon as we step foot outside. . . . . coming inside after playing outside will be a struggle, as once we are outside, he does NOT want to come in . . . keeping him contained in the yard, driveway, or sidewalk will be a constant challenge, since he only seems to want to go where he's not supposed to (the ally with the puddles, the road, the garage). Mom is really looking forward to being able to be home with him this summer. It will be so much fun!

Flip flops! You do look like a big boy, Ethan! Do they stay on your feet?!
