Once upon a time, there was a little boy called AE.  It isn’t his real name, of course, but it is how his mother refers to him on her blog because those are his initials and she isn’t very creative.  Anyway, AE recently graduated from kindergarten.

 

Since it is summertime, AE whiles away the hours at day camp.  They go swimming and bowling and to the movies.  One day they made volcanoes out of soda bottles.

 

Another day they made this.  AE says it is a mole.  His parents don’t know about all that.  It looks more like a hamburger patty.  Or a cow chip.

 

AE has a little sister.  Miss T is enjoying her summer as well, having water day at school and going for laundry basket rides at home.

 

She keeps busy, putting her babies down for naps, watching Blue’s Clues, and reading with her brother.

 

Sometimes she takes time out of her busy schedule to help the family dog go night-night.

AE and Miss T aren’t the only ones enjoying their summer.  Even though their mom and dad have to work, they’re squeezing in fun where they can.  AE and his dad went to Houston and took in an Astros game one Saturday evening.

 

They also play way more Monopoly than is probably healthy for anyone.  Quite frankly, AE’s mother is sick of Monopoly and she never even has to play.

And AE’s mom continues to experiment with new and different wines, her number one vice.  Some of them are really good, and she will buy them again.

 

Some of them are really NOT good, and AE’s mom recommends avoidance.

It may be hotter than the blue blazes of hell, but so far AE, Miss T and even their parents are having a very nice summer so far.  Hopefully everyone else is too.
