A PEEK AT SUMMER

One of the biggest excitements about summer for J is the easing of bedtime routines.  He thinks he should be allowed to stay up to all hours every night, but that's not what we actually do.  And he couldn't really do it either because he falls asleep!

But that is quite okay with Sophie, who loves to have someone to sleep with any time.  She just makes herself very comfortable!
Another big summer activity for J is using tools to make a number of toys.  Here  he is sanding some swords that he drew on plywood and his dad cut out for him.
Summer in Montana is challenging because sometimes we only get a few minutes of sunshine a day.  This whole month has been wet.  As I'm typing this my outdoor exercise is being postponed because of rain.  It keeps everything green, and reduces the risk of fires, but still, it gets tiresome to have so much rain.
But the rainbows are pretty cool!  And the grass grows super fast!  And it looks absolutely beautiful!  So, between rain showers we do our best to get outside if possible.

Love the rainbow picture!! I lived just outside of Choteau, MT for the first six years of life or so - love the big open sky but the weather is definitely iffy!
