The chaos of summer

What does one do with two young rascals that; a) need to burn off excess energy, b) can't always perform the same activity, c) sometimes don't want to perform the same activity, d) need naps, e) don't always want a snack until it's too late, f) will let the TV suck them through an entire day, g) will only, sometimes give a 2-minute warning prior to a bathroom movement, h) love to climb things marked "off limits" by the authorities, i) when only one can scooter along, j) one is too heavy to carry distances, k) are way too enthused to play in the street, l) will terrorize a library if the stay is too long, m) can't climb trees, n) can't pump on the swing, o) won't pose for photos, p) think a hammer is a gentle instrument, q) walk at entirely different speeds, r) dislike charred marshmallows, s) think sailing requires no money, t) will stack almost anything into a building, u) think Grandma O'Brien's porch is the best place on earth, v) want to roam the entire neighborhood, unescorted, w) will eat anything from a restaurant but nothing from home, x) are too shy to shake Clifford the Big Red Dog's hand, y) go in different directions in the woods, and z) will go until restrained?

I know, most of those items are good things. Today we went to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. We saw the big red cherry (without the snow) and the crane, ducks (not sure of the type), and a multitudes of other items. The big red cherry and crane were Galen's interpretive names. Over the course of the summer we will also visit (multitude of times) both zoos, the Arboretum, and the Children's Museum. Galen will also spend some time at the Little Gym and YMCA summer camps.

My, I'm exhausted already. I hope they get that way too.
