SUMMER!!!!!



Summer has been awesome to say the least! I was so worried we were going to be bored and unproductive- honestly the way I kind of remember summers as a kid (sorry Mom), but we have been staying more than busy and having a blast! I love summer and having my kids at home. I made job charts for my kids, and if I would have known how much mileage I would have gotten out of them, wow, I would have done them a LONG time ago. I guess I have done them before, but slacked after Aidan was born, and I am back!

I took my storm door off our front door and let me say, I feel empowered! Ya, I realize it doesn't take much. It was on it's last leg, scratching the cement every time you open the door, and I was always self conscious about knocking little kids off our tiny cement square atop our steps. It feels more inviting now... yes, I am easy to please, and I did it myself!

Also, I got a great desk from my sis-in-law which was supposed to be for Ethan and Ava, but the only place it will fit is in our bedroom, so... I may just have to use it for myself! Again, put it up myself and am proud! Now it is time to start some real projects!

We have also been having a blast this summer! Today we went to Park City and rode the Alpine Slide, Alpine Coaster and the kids did the mega tramp thing. It was awesome! We have been boating, hiking, played with friends, painting, playing soccer, reading, learning bits of Spanish, and loving the summer!

I hope these are not the best days of my life, because I don't want to think that it goes down hill from this point. But I have to say, it has been a fantastic summer. I am sure I will be wallowing before long, but today the outlook is good! Have a great summer!
