Bubbos!

For awhile we thought summer would never arrive. Now it seems it won't leave. I'm longing for cool, rainy days. But one good thing about it, the toddlers can be outside a good part of the day, which eases tensions for everyone.

The rallying cry of "Bubbles!" (or variations of it) is heard loudly and often -- it's an easy word for a toddler to say and it's one of their favorite forms of entertainment. I'm the designated bubble blower, but in order to get some photos, Laurie had to take the helm. She did a fine job, and the looks of amazement and excitement were priceless.

The hardest part is getting them to understand we can't blow bubbles all afternoon.
