First Official Day of "Summer"...

(Blogger is still posting blue squares for my pictures, so i am loading photos in a different manner...unfortunately I cannot crop them, so these pictures are very "rough")
Yesterday the weather was warm enough (88 degrees) for the boys to break out the swim trunks and have the first official water gun fight...


An official water fight must have a plethora of water guns to choose from...



Sam chose the super soaker, which is good for about 20 seconds and then needs to be refilled...which left him wide open for the jack attack...



 As you can imagine...no holds bar from Jack...full out water war!

This picture scares me a bit...he is chasing Sam while guttural sounds rage from his mouth! And today we are back to reality...jeans, tennis shoes and 60 degrees...spring in Iowa!


Side Note: I am sorry to say that our little Alice had to find a new home. It just wasn't the right time for our family to take on a new puppy. She is now with a new family of four boys (oh my!) that really wanted a little girl wheaten terrier in their family. Alice will be perfect for them...thanks to everyone that lent a helping hand, ear and shoulder this past week...all the advice, support, listening and helping...was and is greatly appreciated (and needed). it was not an easy decision, but with my family and friends help, i was able to get through the week. thanks to everyone who was there....it is truly amazing how many friends (and my family) stepped up to help me out...it is very humbling and reassuring...thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Awww, Katie...somehow I missed that you were going through all of this. It must have been a very tough time for you! Glad to hear everything worked out for the best. :)
