Summer Days

Happy weekend, y’all!  I was so excited when Olga over at Stardust – Decor & Style invited me to guest post on my family room.  Hop on over there and check it out!! Now, we’re just three weeks in and our summer days are turning out to be everything we had hoped…full of doing just as we please with no hard fast plans.  We’ve crossed a few things off of our First Summer Vacation Ever bucket list and have added a few new ones as well. As far as the aforementioned list goes, we’ve hit up the library, completed Vacation Bible School, started working on first grade math, read TWENTY books (!), chalked up loads of pool days, gone mini golfing with Daddy, used the zip line a gazillion times, played family games more nights than not, tended to our garden and already started to enjoy the fruits of our labor, built at least a hundred indoor forts, and had our evening baths on the slip n slide (you know, the whole kill two birds with one stone thing.).   Now for off the list activities, the littles concocted a game called “Undie Dodge Ball”…  (I suppose they were desperate for a valid reason to throw armfuls of underwear at each other.)   We’ve played some good old fashioned back yard baseball… Some of us have driven the (darned) rocket cart around the grocery store while dressed like a super hero… And, we’ve had friends over to help dig in the front yard where the gigantic oak tree fell down this spring.  We’ve been using this free entertainment as a lingering excuse to not haul a truck load of pinestraw out here to fix it.  I mean, as embarrassing of an eye sore as it may be, this pile of dirt has logged hundreds of hours of fun. I suppose this weekend will bring more of the same.  And I couldn’t be happier about that! xoxo
