Last summer my sister and I took our friend's daughter, Reagan, to Harkness State Park for the day. We had a great time turning cartwheels, flying kites, building sandcastles and splashing in the waves. Reagan loves the Disney princesses, and has red hair like Ariel, so I built her this mermaid tail in the sand (the scale is a little off, but hey, it's sand!). She thought it was the coolest thing, all covered in shells and stones. Of course, being 5 years old, sitting still, half-buried in sand, lost it's appeal pretty quickly. Luckily I found this picture again and have it savor the memory of that fun summer day!
Pumpkin relishes having the windows open in the summer. He loves to sit and watch all the interesting things going past and is really good about not clawing the screens. He's not so thrilled about all the noise that comes in through the windows though. Things like sirens and fireworks especially bother him and he takes up residence under the couch until they are a distant memory. He would be typing this entry himself, but he somehow managed to break off two claws (again!). They seem to be healing well, and he tolerates the warm saltwater soaks and flushing with peroxide. I'm sure he'll rant about it soon when he's feeling up to typing.
