Lazy Days of Summer

Lucy and I have had a slow week at home this week. Several times each day the phrase 'lazy days of summer' passed through my head. It was a hot, sticky, still week. I was so lazy that I didn't even get my camera out. All of the pictures were snapped with my phone.

Here are a few of the fun things we did this week. We tried to stay in the water, the shade or in the air conditioning.

We played with sidewalk chalk.

We played in the pool.

And in the pink sand.

Today, when we got our weekly load of produce from our CSA, we made zucchini bread.
This was the first time that I really let Lucy help me cook. She loved to stir. She also got to pour out the the measuring spoons and cups after I filled them with ingredients.

'Looks Lip Smackin' good Mom!'

When we were done cooking, I pulled the chair over and Lucy helped me do the dishes. She was a very good rinser.

She really likes to help clean up. Here she is wiping down the cabinets after doing the dishes. They were a little wet, so were her clothes, the walls, the floor, the window. . .

Added Bonus: The zucchini bread is good. I'm munching on a piece as I write this.
