I love my job, but I'm definitely not ready for school to start. We are having much to great of a summer. Constantly doing fun things, and we're all loving every minute of it.
Yesterday, we went to a beach on a lake. The kids played and played and played. They got to be with their cousins. There were smiles all around - swimming, splashing, running, swimming. Perfect summer. After, we went to Kimball's. (My FAVORITE ice cream place.) We ate far too much ice cream, walked around and looked at the animals. Then my mom treated us all to a ride on the bumper boats. Such fun!
Today we went to an amazing block party with B and her boys. There was a moon walk, a treasure hunt, a pinata and a pie eating contest. (Picture my 2 and 3 year old with their faces in a bowl of whipped cream and sprinkles! They didn't even use their hands! :O) Oh and I almost forgot to mention, there was more sugar than my girls have ever consumed in their lives... :o)
Looking down the street at the party was like looking at Main Street U.S.A. There were chairs and tables everywhere with people chatting, balloons, and brightly colored posters, a U.S. flag hanging down the center, and the best part - kids running, playing and smiling everywhere.
As you can probably tell, we all had a fabulous time. And I, for one, am thoroughly exhausted. (Don't worry, I'll bounce back. We've got girl's night in honor of JRowe tonight!:o)
Anyway, it's hard to let go of such an amazing time. But maybe if we always felt like this, we'd take it for granted... Besides, I'm not sure my body can keep up. :o)
Happy Summer!

shall I remind you of 12:30 this afternoon? We looked at each other and said, "Is it really ONLY 12:30?"
That was prior to the block part however. It was a great time, and reminded me of Mian Street, USA. Very cool.
go check out urbanbaby now. And toss some salad :O)
Yummy Kimballs!! I get to eat it whenever I allow myself! ;-P jk
Glad you are having such a wonderful summer!
