summer is...

warm slow days
lazy moments
and long conversations
catching fireflies
picnics

running in sprinklers

picking wildflowers

s'mores

ghost stories and bonfires

ice cream cones

good books
sounds of laughter
eating warm berries, right off of the vine
sitting on the porch
daydreaming


may your summer be filled with days where you can recapture your childhood, see the magic of summer in your kid's eyes, and where everything is easy, relaxed and in lower case.

Schools Out For Summer!

Today was the last day of school, but who new how quick it would be?  I dropped the kids off and ran a couple of errands and then picked them up at 10:30 am.  The power was knocked out at school, and the energy company couldn't find a quick fix.  That event, promptly ended their school year! 

As a treat, and an idea taken from an old high school chum in California, this year for the first time, we are doing ice-cream sundaes for dinner to celebrate!  Off to a sugar overload with very happy kids.

Happy Friday!

Happy Summer Vacation!
