There is so much going on this summer it feels like the rest of the year... what happened to lazy days by the pool and sleepovers, riding bikes around the neighborhood and begging your folks for ice cream money? When did I become the grown up with a house to paint and parties to plan, lesson plans to work on and cats to take to the vet? Did my parents have all these things to do during the summer? Am I taking on too much? Am I making sure my kids summers are the kind memories are made of? I know that a lot of what we are doing this summer will be fun memories for the kids I guess I just didn't realize how much work my parents put into making those memories for us. Thanks mom and dad! I'm finding you just might have had to put more work into the summer than I ever realized.
So far this summer we've swum at the pool, gone to movies, started a vegetable garden, watched a dozen baseball games, seen the bats fly from under the I35/McNeil bridge and then had blizzards from DQ, enjoyed VBS (well the kids did, I was part of planning the whole thing) and the kids had Camp Foster.
Left to do... Soup Kitchen with the youth group, 7-11 on Wednesday nights, Beach Week with the Cook Clan, get ready for school next year and still get to the pool as often as possible.
What fun things did you do this summer? What do you still plan to do?
Oh and you do realize I only listed the things the kids actually took (will take) part in... my list is way longer than that. :o)
Hope your summer is going swimmingly!

Hey, Girl- I love your blog. I'm so glad to get a peek into your world. It sounds so fun. Did you know I'm homeschooling now? (Will is a toddler.) How cool. . .I'm a new blogger, but I will send you a link. My girls love to know about other homeschool adventures.

I need to clarify that Charlotte is a kindergartener and Julia is in 5th grade. This is my first time to have 2 lesson plans to prepare.
