I think the thing Matthew wanted the most for his birthday this year was a kite. At least that's what I heard about the most. And still hear about. *photo taken by my Mom
So a kite he got. Like the gardening gloves on my hands? The wind caught it and the string rope burned a finger. Glad the little guy hadn't been holding it! *photo taken by my Mom
And I allowed myself to be photographed looking pregnant. *photo taken by my Mom
Which I'm not. Over the last 3 years I keep seeming to lose weight or inches. So I have lots of clothes in my closet that aren't as fitted as they should be. A nice problem, but not when you can't buy a new wardrobe every year! *photo taken by my Mom
I just never seem to take the best pictures. Which is fine, it's all about kites today. Nor am I an expert kite flyer. I'm hoping for a real kite flying wind one of these days, because frankly we've had alot of problems keeping this baby up. *photo taken by my MomOn Tuesdays The Inadvertent Farmer is doing a series called Summer's Simple Things. I'm not going to probably link up every Tuesday, but I happened to think this fit. If you have time, pop over and see what other families are doing to have simple summer fun.

Oh, I have "pregnant" pictures, too. I would love them if I were actually pregnant, but I hate them when I know it's not a baby making that bulge. ;)
Your kite flying looks like fun! Maybe you'll have to try a tail next time. We flew a kite last summer and couldn't keep it up until we taped a crepe paper streamer on to it to make a tail. Then it flew really well!
Wow, I never would have thought of that Kirsten. We might have to work on that!
I was going to suggest a tail also...makes the whole things so much easier!
My kids LOVE flying kites, thanks for the reminder. Now where in the garage did I put them???
Thanks for joining in the summer fun...Kim
The kite flying is delightful! It's all about having fun with your boy, even if your clothes don't fit! Heehee...
I could maybe take up some seams for you?
Well, I for one am honored to be in such good company. You look great for a mom out in the yard, playing with the kids and gardening! I have a wardrobe just like your and the same hairdo as well, and I've decided that is just the way I like it!
Now that is not to say that I don't "clean up well". (As my MIL once told me in front of all the guests at the table in a really ritzy restaurant---I try not to remember that)
I'm much to practical and enjoying my home life to worry about it much! I hope you don't either!
I think loose summer clothes are a good thig because they let some air in.
The Inadvertent Farmer, glad I could give you an idea you had forgotten about!
Mom, thanks but my seams are beyond hope!
Cathryn, you are just too sweet! I haven't been to The Farrm for a few days, I'll have to come over.
Anonymous, air is good.
And Zippy Zippy, I swear there was a comment from you and it disappeared! If you come back try again.
Cathryn - haha, your story made me laugh. I dressed up for a murder mystery recently (I'll have to post pictures some time) and my friends couldn't believe it was me, they were so used to the jeans, ill-fitting t-shirts, and ponytail. :)
