Good ole' summertime

Summer is flying on by....It is great. The kids love it and I almost do too ,

but can I say I can't.quite.keep.up.

I do admit I am a bit surprised-

I thought we would have lots of time laying around,

having lots of lazy summer days,

just.simply.doing.nothing.

Boy was I wrong.

We haven't stopped for a second.

Maybe

it's was our vaca's to Moab and Ohio,

or my parents coming home in 4 days, or maybe it's

going to the secret pool almost every day....

or diet coke and McDonald french fry days at the park with the cuz's...

All I know is summer is going way too fast,

and I want it to s l o w down

because we A R E having so much fun.

Granted it is so much more work for us mom's..right?

(and it's okay I'm not quite keeping up)

because it is N O N S T O P

24/7

The house always needs to be picked up, lunch seems to be all day, there are never enough popsicles, lost goggles for the pool, swim team practice, packing park picnics, feeding all the neighborhood kids, loading all the Koolaid cups in the dishwasher, oh and cooking dinner every night at dusk. We eat suuuper late now.

But overall, I will take hot summer days anytime!

I love to go outside and breathe in the hot air, feel the 85 degree hot sunshine beating on my skin,

(with 50 spf sunblock of course!)

and sitting at the pool all day long.

This is what I wait for all year long....

So noooo complaining here....

~Today's Thrillin: Fountains at the Gateway~

Water, sun, cousin love, snow shacks, Mc'D fries (again),

and good times!

(all the little things is what makes it count~)

After we soaked in the fountains for a couple of hours, Ry came down from work and said hi to the kiddos. Looove that Fidelity Investments is smack in the middle of Gateway. (left building in the pic) sooo fun!

(4-pack)

Now I need to go and start life:

Clean this crazy house, put away loads of laundry, and think of something good for dinner that's not snow shack or a popsicle.

I need to get something done around here!

and not lots of time for blogging or anything that requires time for just ME because summer is happening around here....

But oh well it doesn't really matter not much is getting done because

we are loving summertime.

Hope you are too! Happy summer to ya'll!
