I can't believe it is already August. Summer is going so quickly. I like my weekends full. I love coming home with exhausted children knowing that day has been adventurous and full of activity.

Ale and I started today with a long overdue Mama date. We went and washed the car at a self service car wash. (High powered water guns are VERY fun for three year olds.) I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for getting a good wash on a car but it was a fun activity and much needed. We headed down to the bookstore after that. Ale said he wanted to get books about sharks. We found a few and sat ourselves down for some lap reading time. He chose one to buy and then we went to the cafe where he got chocolate milk which he insisted on waiting to drink until we arrived at our friends' pool later in the day. (He never did drink it. I found it hours later, untouched sitting in the sun. Some things are not worth waiting for).

We spent all afternoon with several friends swimming and having a barbecue. Ernesto is with us again this weekend which is fun for Ke'ano. They are currently outside in the tent. Summer sweet summer. Ke'ano spent a few hours at Neto's house last night. When David picked both boys up Ke'ano's hair was straight. Apparently my 13 year old brother in law and 10 year old son spent the evening playing beauty parlor punk style. Love it. The boys love spending their days grooming each other. What's next? Black eyeliner parties?
