Change of Weather

The weather is so lovely and fall-ish. It seemed like it would never get here. Now its finally here and I have all these half naked end of summer memories of my boys I haven't recorded. So without delving too deeply into summer, because that's probably going to be a long old post . Here are a few remembrances.

Rowdy inspired by his California adventures but lacking the natural resources, resorted to surfing on diapers. I did pretty good with the sunblock this year!
And embracing his role as a big brother figure Rowdy helped a friend, Dominick who I babysat for about 2 months, put on his sandals every time we went outside. These two got along great. Rowdy would even look forward to Dominick coming over and waking him up in the morning . Dominick's mom was a sub and would come over pretty early for the littles. The only way Dominick wouldn't cry to leave her was if he had one of the other boys to distract him. So it became a funny little tradition to wake one of them up. All three of the boys seemed to love it. Eww! its supposed to be cold when it rains!

and all the good helpers got the much sought after JB. Ezra inhaled these capri-suns faster than Rowdy, which is kind of crazy.

So much for calling him the music man.
