yellow balloon

the other day ruby and i spotted this yellow balloon

from her window upstairs.

it was stuck in a tree by the freeway

and most likely from some car dealership or bee themed

birthday party.

anyhow, we decided to go 'catch' it and enjoy a bit of outside

before it go too terribly hot.

balloons are a big hit around here

and as you can see provide some serious happiness.

we actually recently made a sweet tennis court

in the front room with painters tape

and blew up balloons for no reason.

have you ever tried balloon tennis?

it rocks.

just ask my brother pete.

gosh i wish the weather was nicer

so we could be outside more.

dec was so incredibly pumped about the slight drop in temp

that brought us outdoors.

much arm flailing indeed.

as an aside:

how hilarious is it when kids think you can't see

them b/c their eyes are closed?

ruby walked into the room the other day with closed eyes

and said something to the effect that i could not see her.

she is the imagination queen lately.

more on that later.

hope all had a fabulous and relaxing weekend.

monday here i come.
