Dear Internet,
Did you know it’s something called Somer?
Well it IS Somer-time and you can thank us for informing you of Somer-times because Somer-time means certain really good most nice things.
1. Less Tights
2. More being chased with the hose in the backyard where the water police cannot see us.
3. Lots of picnics out on the deck because Mama seems to think that never sleeping makes cleaning up after us even more unappealing than you’d think and will go to some lengths to feed the birds by accident of inaccurate toddler avoid it.
4. Oh, and these things called icey poles.
They might just be the most important bit of Somer-time.
Yes, even BETTER than an ‘Im so PROUD of YOU’ for a direct unprompted potty run.
The other good thing about Somer-time, Internet, just quietly is that if you haves a tiny accimadent while a bit too excited running on the grass after your icey pole, nobody gets especially upset.
Somer-time is kind of fun.
Love,
Lily and Gemma who are always on the look out for the next icey pole and might just be a tiny bit whiny at times in pursuit of same.

Elizabeth has discovered (and pay attention, Lily and Gemma, this is very important) that if you get your Mama to buy the all fruit kind of icy poles, you can talk her into letting you have them for BREAKFAST. She rationalizes it by saying that it is just fruit.

You two are getting so big! And good job on going potty! Maybe that’s a reason in itself for an icey pole.
