Pedicures from hobos

The boy pulled out a towel and my favorite toe color.  He forgot to take the clippers to my horrendous cuticles, though.

This summer has been so hot, and we've been looking for interesting things to do around town.  One day we found a fun park that had both a mini train (yes, we rode it) and a calm little brooklet (hence the dripping boy in the picture).

America cake

The boy announced he wanted a cake that looks like Captain America's shield, so we did.  The top picture is his icing.  I think, for a five year old, it's very good.  the cake definitely needed more icing though, so I added the rest.

 

And summer begins

It is the boy's fondest dream to be a ninja.  He was in heaven the whole half hour.
