Why I should keep my kitchen floor cleaner than I do…
because little girls might choose to eat-in-place. By the way, my floor tile is that funky ‘disguise-a-dirt’ color…it’s bad, but it’s not quite THAT bad.
So, we’re finally off to the low desert for a long weekend of meeting grandparents, swimming in the big pool, dodging rattlesnakes, and running from A/C venue to A/C venue…
MONSOON TRACK:
No rains yet. ‘Nuff said.



Ahhh….the low desert in July. May He have mercy on you and your family
So, as you might have expected, I have tons of questions for you about your experiences with The Bee thus far (seeing as how she and Thor have a LOT in common). I’m going to try and e-mail you. I hope that’s OK.
Enjoy your weekend. Wishing you cool breezes and monsoon rains!

She loves her apples, doesn’t she? Wishing you safe travels and happy pool splashing.

Have a great little break!
It’s not as if she was eating the apples off the floor. She had them in a bowl on the floor. And a little dirt just helps them build up their immunity, right?

How low will you go? Have a good trip!! And dude, you haven’t seen disguise-a-dirt until you’ve seen our brick red “warehouse”-style tile. “Things” (the kind that shouldn’t be there) have gone weeks before being discovered. Weeks, I tell you. And that’s not necessarily a good thing.

Dirt shmirt. Build up her immunity, I say!

Yeah, I’m with Cavatica. Coninuing to love both the Bee and her wardrobe. It’s even fun to watch her sit on the floor and eat!

So — were you back from the Valley in time to enjoy our big break in the weather? It’s been raining off and on for, oh, 7 hours or so! Wow!

From the sound of it you’ve gone and returned already - enough that this little cutie may be back on the kitchen floor eating…apples? What a great look! Does she like the rain, or is she still too little to notice?
Our boy, being a true Portlander, considers anything but a flat-ass downpour no reason NOT to go for a ride on his “big” bike (up from the tricycle of pre-four-year-old times). I’d actually welcome a break from the clouds - it’s nastily close and as muggy as it gets here, not a patch on the East Coast, but still…not fun for Portland…

Oh, a little dirt never hurt anyone. If it does, then my kids are in for it.
E. has that very same snack, in the very same bowls, on a regular basis! She loves her apples.
I hope you had a wonderful trip!
