Practically Summer

We have taken it upon ourselves, us Browns, to will Summer here faster. Chasing bubbles, lots of duck pond visits, lunch on the balcony and our favourite - sidewalk murals.

Max had gotten all of his chore check marks for a month, so we told him he could pick out a toy or book the next time we were out. Well, Max Brown is a funny duck, he chose sidewalk chalk. Of all things. Ok, kid!

Last year the babes loved drawing outside but we only had two pieces of chalk and they lasted all season so we didn't bother getting more. We had blue and yellow. When the kids got their new chalk - 36 different colours - their little heads exploded. It doesn't take much around here.

Won't go anywhere without her back pack 

So that's what we've been doing everyday since, drawing pictures, taking walks and eating outside, even if it means we have to wear heavy sweaters and re-heat pour food a couple of times. It's practically Summer, can you feel it?
