I am a winter person, but I also don’t like to see the end of summer. Our neighbor shared popsicles with everyone on Sunday when it was an unseasonal 95 degrees.

And another very, very kind 14 year old neighbor pushed the little kids around in his homemade laundry-basket roller coaster car.

They had a blast, and he pushed them around until he was red-faced and worn out.  Yes, he attached the basket to his skateboard with a drill and screws.  Kids flying down the hill in that thing just makes me laugh, when I guess I should make them put a helmet on.  It’s great to live on a street where kids still play outside every day.

We had a great visit with our friend, and princess, Catriona.  Pirate-doctor Amelia is tending to Princess-patient Catriona’s illness.  I laughed when they said to each other “Give me a deep breath. And again?  And another?”

Daph is on day 3 of eating-very-little.  She stole her neighbor’s (cow) milk at lunch, after she downed her own (soy) milk.  Her teacher called and said Daphne drank it so fast, she didn’t even have time to get the cup away!  She’s all fluids, very little solids.  Took her to the doctor yesterday, sure she had an ear infection (like Amelia and Ethan had last week), and she was fine.  The doctor said, “I guess it’s teeth, or ’2′.”  Tonight Ethan came in to show me the bar of soap that Daphne bit twice during her bath; and I just listened to a string of “no”s as he got her dressed after the bath.  I’m guessing not eating is a combination of the teeth and the two.
