so....gray doesn't really like avocado.

but, the boys LOOOOOOOVE the tire swing. I mean, really, what else are you supposed to do when it's 106 outside?

jeff came over this morning to help out. perhaps he was alerted by brad that there was a scary, desperate tone to my voice. or perhaps he just wanted to dip his toes into the pool of chaos.

either way, I got everyone fed and down for naps and am renewed for the afternoon.
and the crabs survived another day.
and it rained for the second day in a row.


all of it manna from heaven.
