June 2006

June was filled with heat and storms. It's been very disconcerting for Jacob. The lights would go out and he would ask "What happened?" His movie would turn off and it was more of an emphatic "What [the @#$%] happened!?!?!?" Poor J was in the bathtub in the only upstairs room without a window during one blackout and was quite upset. All the lightning and thunder still startles him so we make a big game of it "Wow, that was a big one" but it's getting old quick. Movies continued to be popular this month. He went to see both "Over the Hedge" and "Cars" (well, the first may have been in May, who remembers?) and sat through them pretty well. He spent a lot of time playing with his best buddy, Kirsten, since his dad was out of town for the majority of the month and mom needed some company and distraction. They are too cute together, as you can see. He explored a bunch of parks, sweating in the sun, checking out the play equipment and we are fortunate to have so many in close driving distance (none in walking distance, though). Enough words - here are the pix:

Grubby grin --- He carried that PBJ all afternoon - Yuck!	Tim & J playing in the back of the minivan	Roasting marshmallows for s'mores

Six cousins 'round the firepit	Eye of the Bubbleholder	Grocery shopping in style and comfort

Too tired to eat?!	Buddies by the river	How cute are they? Holding Hands

Spike! The gel worked for about 5 minutes.	I've heard of a drive-in but a sleep-in theater?	Scenes from a minivan Mom's Eye View

Four boys gone wild	Wish this was in focus but you can see how much fun they were having!	Blackmail photo OR K tucked her doll in after he fell asleep.
