Yippe SUMMER TIME!!! We have the summer list ready to go and we are doing the things we planned out already! Lots of swimming and boating and eatting ice cream so far. The summer list is jam pack with some pretty fun stuff so I think we can plan on a good summer. It's been nice sleeping in these days. Course I've been up still at 6am cause my body is still set, but that's good cause it allows exercise time and garden time in the early mornings while the kids are still sound asleep. That is the best way to start the day I learned. I got the summer list idea from another blogger mom and loved the idea and well we are doing it too. So moms out there you too should do this it really makes your summer fun and stuff to look forward too and the "I'm bored" line is fixed by one glance of the list. The kids back packs are cleaned out and old food in lunch pales is no longer. Mr. Brad had worked his tale off the last end of school and was scoring A's and B's and even rewards and the best part no "SUMMER SCHOOL"! He was so happy and relieved. Caleb is now a High Schooler come fall....boo-hoo my baby boy! Angie is just happy to be happy. She is so ready to play in the sun and just enjoy some down time.
Well Brad convinced me to try one camp out weekend and he promised me it will be fun. So I guess I have to try it once ...I really hate to camp but since he worked so hard in school I guess it can't be too bad! So that is on the list. (What did I get myself into!) I love the movies and the roller skating idea . I've been riding my little Volkswagen bug with the top down these days and the fireflies are so wonderful in the summer. My garden is in full bloom and the pool feels wonderful on these hot, steamy days we've been having. I just need to find a good shady spot in the back yard which I know I will be fighting with the dogs for and pull out my easle and paint away. I was promising myself I would do that this summer. I love watching the sunset on our porch swing and waving to our neighbor friends. That's where I do some great cross stitching there. I just hate the bug bites! Other then that we are ready for this season. The boys will be off to their camps this July and it will be just Angie and I for a little bit. OOOOooo no boys! I have the girls just wanna have fun song in my head right now! ha! ha! I know lots of things she and I can get into. I do have a wedding to go to the begining of July. I haven't been to one in so long. I'm getting my hair done and the dress that has been sitting in my closet with price tags still on waiting for that special day well I think it will be perfect. I'm sporting tan legs to boot too! So I'm looking forward to this. It will be just John and I so it will be kid free! Yippee!
As for John well he has a few trips to take so it will be a little lonely but we are used to it being a former Marine family we've been programed to handle these trips so it's really easy-peasy for us. Oh, John is finally on a BIG-BOY soccer team and he is having a blast! His old man body still has the drive for the sport. My soccer stud! I think this is so good for him! Well that's it for now. I better refill my tall glass of ice water and put a new lemon slice in it and go chill for awhile. I still need to cook a meal for our dogs. We ran out of dog food and I don't food shop tell tomorrow so cooked meal for the pups....they will love me tonite! I can count on a few dog kisses tonite!
