It's an Indian Summer around here!!!

You know, it went from being in the 50's around here about 3 weeks ago, to us getting a week and a half of 85 + degree weather.  It was crazy!  We're having a bumper crop of....cherry tomatoes!!  We have so many!!  I'm having a hard time complaining, mainly because it is difficult to achieve full red tomato status around here, as mostly things are still mainly green this time of year, and so the fact that I look out at the tomato patch and see red is quite exciting.  But, cherry tomatoes...

This is one of my youngest new birthday outfit.  Check it out.  The grass is dry enough to play in.  It usually rains all through the end of September/first of October, but like I said, we have been really enjoying the warm weather!!

I finally convinced my oldest to let me take a couple of pictures of him.  But, in order to do it I wasn't too picky on his poses.  Whatever.  At least I have documentation that he is still a part of our family!!

Oh the saga of the tire swing.  I think it is finally fixed so that it will not spontaneously drop while you are swinging.  Um, ouch.

My children have way too much fun when they get a hold of the camera.

So, we got some presents from the grandparents.  Grandpa wrapped them.  I think we need to have lessons as to appropriate wrapping paper to use for a 2 year old.  He is trying so hard to rip it  but it is not working!  It was quite hilarious to watch him try to open them up.  He finally resorted to asking someone else to open it for him, and then he would take it out.  It was fun though!!  And the facial expressions were worth it.

And my ramble is now at an end.  Oh - and the marvelous medication is Silver Sulfadiazine, or some derivative of it.  It is a must-have for your first-aid kit.  It is, obviously, mortal imperative for burns, but it does amazing things for about any wound imaginable as well.  It's not something you can get over the counter but if you have connections....
