Good clean fun

I was kneeling in front of the computer (since Dade won't let us sit on anything higher than the floor) when I looked to see what Dade was up to. I found him in his toy basket playing with his most favorite thing ever

a computer mouse. Its fun when Dade discovers new tricks that are way cute. Though not as much fun when he figures out tricks like climbing into chairs, and on top of ottomans. It's the good clean fun of climbing into toy baskets that I like the best.
Michael only has two weeks left in this semester and the stress level in our house has shot up. He doesn't have finals really, just a lot of projects that he has to finish. Unfortunately when he is home during the day it's hard for him to work because Dade just won't stand for being left out of playing on the computer. We may have to move Michael's computer into the bedroom for a little while.
This past week has been beautiful with every day sunny and ~70. I think it's pretty safe to say that Summer is over here in Washington, not that I'm complaining. Just as long as Fall lasts more then a couple of weeks.
I recently bought some cloth grocery bags from Fred Meyer. Now I don't feel awful grocery shopping because it doesn't take 6 plastic bags to get home. Also because they are so strong we can use them for all sorts of things like trips to the beach, and as an indoor swing.

I don't think you can tell from this picture by Dade now has hair all over his head. It's still very light, but in the sun it looks a little red. Maybe he'll actually need a hair cut by the time he's two. ;)
