Chalk

The $0.97 chalk we purchased is so lightweight that it only lasts a few words before wearing down to your fingertips. I guess you have to spend the extra money for the good stuff. Good thing we bought the big box.

We've had the best weather this week, and the kids have been outside every night...and have gotten to stay up a little later than normal. It's what summer is all about, and our kids are living it. Margo (out of frame) gravitates toward blowing bubbles and riding her bike. Miles likes to spell words and draw roads. Em and I just enjoy the sight of two happy kids playing on a warm summer evening.
