Those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
June 8th, 2009Oh, glorious summer. Last year I did not embrace summer. In fact, I think I may have even cursed it a few times. However, we’ve kicked off this summer with new attitudes, a general love of the water by all, no swim diapers or morning naps, and lots of fun to be had. It’s week 2 and we already have a nice tan brewing…gonna be a great summer.
Amiya was quite happy to see she made it on your blog! Looks like you are having a great summer so far. We’ve got to get the kids together to play.

[...] In my little world, every day would have a list of things that have to get done, a list of things that probably should get done, and a list of things that sure would be fun to do. Well, around May I started making a list of fun things we could do this summer and it wasn’t hard to fill it up. So, in the spirit of embracing the summer, I ditched the lists of things that have to get done and probably should get done and we’re just focusing on the fun. Lately we’ve been to The Tubes at Irving Bible Church (a great free activity if you live around here), to the splash park by ourselves (a completely different experience by yourselves than with a bunch of other people), Clay took the kids to a balloon festival which was really more of an aircraft show (check Nicole’s blog for pics), played in the front yard in the sprinklers, made some new friends (check Ashley’s blog for pics), went to the lake with some friends and let the kids go tubing, Ethan started t-ball practice, we’ve been to the park, and we’ve also been to the movies a couple of times. Now if I can just get my back to start feeling better we’ll start exploring some other cool things on my list (anyone know of a black market that sells portable epidurals? I’m thinking that’s the only way to go to get some relief at this point). [...]
