well, maybe not "easy", but it's definitely laid back compared to the school year! i have "summertime" set as my ringtone. last year it was "put your records on" because "summer came like cinnamon, so sweet"...
summer is absolutely my favorite time of the year. i like to think back and remember when i was a kid and all of the fun stuff we did. i try to do some of those things with my own kids, and come up with new ideas too.
so far this summer we've:
*caught lightning bugs and put them in a jar
*skipped rocks on the river
*made rock buddies
*played on the slip-n-slide in the back yard
*made homemade ice cream
*set off fireworks
*cooked on the grill
*made s'mores
*attempted to make s'mores bars and caught them on fire (yes, flames were coming out of the oven...very scary stuff, but all's well that ends well and there was no damage to anything besides the marshmallows on top!
*drove up to WV and enjoyed the mountain views
*gone swimming
*moved into our new home
hopefully we'll have lots of other fun things accomplished in the coming weeks before school begins again. also, hopefully i'll get better at blogging regularly. i really enjoy sharing my thoughts and ideas, and contemplating life and creativity.
