Summertime wears a person out



This is what the start of summer does to the Hynes family.....They go from a strict 7:30 bedtime to a "whenever Mom needs some alone time" bedtime and slumber parties every other night. They run in the sun, engage in fights with each other that would wear out Muhammad Ali, and then crash wherever they can find a soft, quiet corner of the house. I love these shots...Elliott started this nap out on the couch, sometime in the middle of it he slid onto the floor, then woke up and finished it on the red couch in the other room. I love Lucy's nap because it is in the biggest pile of blankets and pillows I have ever seen; who wouldn't fall asleep in that?

Here is a little bit more of the things we do to wear them out:
Library time!

Dirt biking adventures. I like the three motorcycles piled in Mike's truck....big, medium, and small.
Our Motorcycle Mamma.
Jump Time! It's an indoor trampoline extravaganza!

PS, another good thing about the summer is that they can play outside without getting frost bite. Example: right now they are banished to the front yard for an undisclosed amount of time because they wouldn't stop bickering...sweet.

In other news...I have finally started getting Brown Box. It's a organic, local vegetable and farm egg delivery service that brings me yummy goodies every other week. I like my rainbow radishes.

"Oh, what do you do in the summer time?" Now we know and it all looks fun AND tiring.

Do these radishes taste different by color? Interesting and do they deliver to your front door. That is a nice gig if they do.
