Wow, I can't believe how fast summer is progressing. Its already time to shop for school clothes and we've not even taken an official vacation as a family. July has been a little of a blur. Its been so much fun with the kids.:) We've gone to the park, Chuck E Cheese, LOTS of pool time, out to the beach, Nana/Papa's farm, Ma's house, church, movies, oh and managed to sleep late most days! Now that's summer!!
While I love doing lots of things and going places, I realize it's still the simple things that make life so enjoyable...like the afternoon the kids played in the rain, the racetrack the boys made in the sand and played with their cars until Michael decided it was time to destroy it with his bike, the restaurant the boys set up in the computer room and the entire family came and ordered food that was really plastic toys but their dad still tipped them with real money, opening the front door to see wonderful magazines sitting there from my sweet neighbor, the fan bought for my husband's bedside that makes napping a divine pleasure, taking down the crib for what is probably the last time until grand kids come along and realizing its okay to feel a little sad and excited at the same time, well, I'll stop there. A couple other things in mind for the summer is taking the boys fishing and to the local arcade/bowling alley. And at some point I'd like to finish digging up that huge plant between two perfectly suited trees in the backyard that would support a wonderful hammock for the Fall...see where I'm going with that? Outside naps! Just no bird poop though.
I do hope your summer is going so good. May you find time to relax and enjoy all things in your life and all the people that make your world such a wonderful place!
