Summer is here

Summer has arrived. We took out the slip 'n' slide Wednesday for some water fun. I upped the watering schedule for the yard plants and while the grass was getting some extra water Ryan and I went out to play. We coaxed and then forced Alex out. Man o man, that kid drives me crazy. I just need to accept that he is Anxious Alex and must be forced into new situations or any situation that has water involved. He is hyper sensitive to water temperature and tenses up every time he has to approach it. Yeah, that makes baths and showers really fun. And yes, Ryan is in his birthday suit. He did start out in swim shorts.

Alex was sick Sunday-Wednesday and it was great getting him back on Thursday. He had a fever that finally broke Wed night. We found him in a pool of sweat (more than his usual sleepy time sweat) and had to change the sheet and take away his new bear he made at school on Monday.

We are gearing up for Dan's birthday. He managed to get a slickdeals deal on Wii games, so he got himself 'DragonQuest' and 2 games for the fam for a good price. That will go towards his birthday budget!
