Wow - it just amazes me that summertime flies by so quickly. My summer break is half-gone and my head is spinning wondering where the time is going. I am thoroughly enjoying it, though. I was talking to my mom, who has just retired in the last week (Yay, Mom!) and she was saying that she spent a day last week just basically being lazy and not doing much, to which I responded - that is exactly how I enjoy spending most of my summer days away from work. I always have a list of things in my head that I want to do once I'm free for the summer, like steam-cleaning the carpet in my basement, which has years-old, bubble-solution induced stains thanks to the now disabled bubble mower Luke used to push around down there while I worked out. (By the way - even at 5, he still loves pushing that thing around even though there have been no bubbles for quite awhile now). Anyhoo - has the carpet been cleaned? Nope. Have I thought about how I should do it every time I've worked out this summer? Yep, but gosh, being lazy and not doing it is so much more enjoyable. :) It hasn't been all laziness, though, we've been having fun doing a few things around here.

Luke throws a great "sports party" - his best selling point - it's free! You can play golf, baseball, football, soccer & if you get tired of that, you can spell your name out of all your equipment.
Fun just hanging out
Swimming as much as the weather allows
Being goofy & shooting water guns with cousins
I just wish it could last a little longer. Maybe then I'd make time to get those darn stains out of my carpet...
