So, I don't like summer. I think it's gross and hot and usually a little boring. But I must admit that about 7pm has been quite beautiful the last few days.
Thursday evening I wanted to try some things with my camera with motion and blur (which didn't really turn out), so the bigs and Margaret and I went out after the twins were in bed. Natalie and James enjoyed watching a dragonfly on the ground.
The grass in the yard (not pictured) was about ten feet tall and still kind of swampy, plus the mosquitos were swarming, so we didn't stay out.
I did get this one of Joanna before we went back in though. I love the light through the trees.
Friday evening we went over to my Aunt Gail's for enchiladas, and when we got out of the car, Natalie insisted I take her picture by this tree. :)
How could I object?
Later, Joanna and I went out to look at the garden – the light was so so pretty.
It has rained pretty much every weekend for what seems like forever, but Matt was finally able to battle the tall grass on Saturday. He also sprayed for mosquitos in an effort to at least keep them out of the house when we open doors for two seconds.
We all went outside after dinner yesterday – it was practically pleasant. There was a little breeze, and the mosquitos were just bad, not terrible.
Don't be fooled, Thomas is NOT leaning over to kiss Michael sweetly. He is yelling at him to get out of the chair.
My toddlers cannot seem to sleep past 6:30 in the morning, even when they're totally exhausted, but I'm hoping I can maybe push that back a little so we can enjoy some evenings outside. I don't go out unless absolutely necessary earlier in the day. :)
