Summer is the best

So far, this summer really has been the best! Hopefully we're doing a good job of balancing things we have to do with things we want to do.

One evening after dinner Rob and Kasper retired to the living room for some guy talk. Does Kasper look adorable sitting in his chair? I thought so too.



When having a conversation with Kasper, talk will almost always turn to his classmates. I think he was naming them here.

One night Kasper was entertaining us with fish lips and other assorted faces.



Then he wanted to try my lime.



Even with a reaction like that, he soldiered on and ate a bit of the lime.

Funny video of Kasper's new laugh.


Grandpa Steve brought Kasper a Mexico soccer kit from their last trip to Mexico. He wore it to school one day and his teachers LOVED it! I guess he was the talk of the Center that day!







This picture is random but makes me smile. Isn't that how we all feel at the end of a long day?


Since it was so nice out we headed to the Landscape Arboretum. Like always, I guess. The roses were AMAZING while my favorites, the peonies, were on their way out. The lady slippers are also not to be missed.




(He was actually enjoying himself)


Batting at all the plants




Last night we had lots of fun playing around here. I tied a dish towel around Kasper's neck as his cape. He LOVED it!


I was even able to capture his latest trick. He moves his little stool around the house to reach places he's not allowed. Here he's made it to the kitchen.

Then he pushed it over to the sliding door (which he's normally unable to reach.)

Side note - that's a pre-existing stain on the dish towel. Fear not.

This morning Rob went for a bike ride, Kasper and I ran to Target then after K's nap we headed over to my sister's apartment to lounge in the pool a bit. It was something like 94 degrees today so the pool felt great! Kasper does so well in the water. We just have to keep sticking him in the pool so he can be nice and comfortable swimming.

I'll end with a pic of Kasper in his jammies tonight. The Great White Bias Tape Hunt of 2012 brought me to Wal-mart. On my way back to the sewing stuff I happened upon these pjs and HAD to get them. Kasper just loves Elmo and sure enough he drug these things around all day until it was bedtime. So proud.


Ok! Time to get Rob and me a slice of fresh strawberry pie I made this weekend. Delish!
