Summer is
a good excuse to relax,
a cool blue hat to keep the sun off your face,
wearing flip-flops everyday,
countless trips to the pool,
sticky Popsicle hands,
swimsuits drying on the patio,
fresh fruit served with every meal,
grocery shopping with 3 kids in tow,
no homework,
no lunchboxes to pack,
afternoons spent reading chapter books aloud,
making pasta salad and yogurt smoothies,
pushing bedtime a little later to allow for family game nights,
enjoying uninterrupted time together,
wishing any of my babies were still small enough to fit in that baby float!

I love summer! I really loved the summers we had when the kids were younger. A later bedtime, bbq's, no homework, etc. Now they're older and busier (they both have jobs). I still love summer though!
ReplyDeleteI think I told you before but for some strange reason I can see your pictures but not your words in Firefox. So I always have to use Internet Explorer browser when I view your blog or I can't read your posts. Isn't that odd?
Anyway, thank you for linking up today!
Aw... how sweet is that? Unlike you, however, I do not want to go through the "diaper stage." Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteLoving the summer days! :D This week I'm spending it with my son as dd is off to church camp. :D Then in a few weeks it will be just her and I.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Monday!

Sweet baby.Thanks for sharing and would love for you to come by for a visit. Debbie
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great reminder about the important things in life. Your blog always reminds me to enjoy these moments- these times with small children. Even though some days can be tedious, there is much simplicity and beauty in these days and I know I will miss them someday.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the cutest pictures I have seen in a while. (not counting my child's pictures of course:)
ReplyDeleteI am too blue to do Blue Monday but am taking time to jump to some of the blogs. This one reminds me of good times when I was raising the kids and enjoying summer to the fullest. Times that will resonate in my mind while I plod through the daily stuff at present. It will change, everything changes and God is good!
