My little peep and the Peepers

 Today was one of those summer days that you wish would last all year!  It was warm but not too warm and low humidity.  I was babysitting Bryden and gave up trying to get even one thing anything done.  I just sat in a chair and watched him play.  There is nothing so entertaining or sweet as watching an 18 month old play!  You can see the wheels turning.

He was really enjoying his lawnmower today.  It has sounds like a motor and he thinks he is really driving.  It shoots bubbles out the back and he can say "bubbles" too.

While he was mowing, I was playing...taking in the yard this time of the year, when everything is green makes me happy.

The irises are blooming for the third time this year....

This color is my favorite!

Bryden discovered a bugcatcher in the playhouse so we went searching for something to put in it.

We soon found that there are many of these little frogs in the yard right now.  When we were little, we called them "peepers".    Bryden was fascinated by them.

It was a day of simply drinking in the summer and this toddler.  A simple day but one that you can never get enough of. I hope he remembers it someday like I always will. It reminded me so much of my summers growing up, visiting my grandparents in Wisconsin.  They had 10 acres in the countryside  and it was always so green there.  My grandmother thought of the most fun things to do to entertain us, but just being there was good enough.

I can hear the little peepers now that it's getting dark.  I wonder if this little go-getter is closing his peepers?  Tomorrow he'll be ready to go again!!
