Sunny Day, Sweepin' the Clouds Away

Something we Seattleites do a regular basis is convince ourselves that summer has arrived. The thermometer hits about 68 degrees and we throw on our swimsuits, put down the top on the convertible and say goodbye to the rain. It was 93 degress yesterday, soooo...

SUMMER IS HERE!!!

We have our child-safe California Baby 30 SPF sunsceen and I dug my flip flops out of the closet, got a couple tank tops from Old Navy for Finn, ordered our lattes ICED and opened the sunroof.

I'm really excited for summer. For the first time in YEARS M. and I have nothing significant hanging over our heads. The only things ahead are pitchers of homemade lemonade and long, lazy days hanging out at the park. Oh, and watching Finn discover his world more and more.

But in true Seattle style, despite all of our efforts and true conviction that on May 18th summer truly started, it hasn't. There's a reason why we drink a lot of coffee around here. It'll rain in a couple days and summer will be over until the next time we convince ourselves that it's finally here.

Then when it finally arrives, we'll just complain constantly that it's too hot. It's our way.
