Who needs the fountains when you have mega sprinklers!!

Its been kind of a draining day so I'll keep this brief.

School's out and it was our first week of summer.  Mom made sure to have things super structured but her and dad also fell in to the neurotypical parent trap.  They wanted us to have lots of fun so they let us play in the pool  longer than normal, let us have McDonald's for dinner one night, and bought us a playhouse.  Ahh, all things with good intentions and for most kids it would have been awesome.  However, for Safi and me its just too much.  Remember, we do Christmaukkah all December long just so we can enjoy our gifts and not have it ruined by being overwhelmed.  You'd think mom and dad would lean their lesson, but I suppose sometimes its hard for them to remember because they get so caught up in the fun.

So, we're really overwhelmed and spent the better part of today letting mom and dad know that through screaming jags, fighting, and ending in tummy aches.  Mom and dad feel bad but its a bell that can't be unrung so now we all have to ride the discomfort until it subsides.  The road to our hell is ALWAYS paved with your good intentions.  That said, as you can see in the pictures, in between meltdowns we really had fun with our new stuff and we just wish we could keep the good joo joo going for longer than the bad joo joo.  In time...

We start summer school on Tuesday and we're really excited, and nervous, about that.  We've been helping mom get all of the toys together that we're going to share with our friends and that's been helping us prepare.  We also have a visit from our Nana coming up and another sensory friendly film, Madagascar 3, on tap for Saturday afternoon.  So, exciting week ahead.  Make sure to check back in next week to see how it all pans out!  We also want to wish a Happy Father's day to grandpa Seifert, grandpa Cummings, great grandpa Cummings, Dan, and all of the father's out there who love and take care of a kid(s)...there's no one in the world that can play like a dad, goof off like a dad, hug like a dad, and make us feel safe like a dad other than, well, a dad.  Now that's pretty darn special!

Peace
