Slow Start to Summer

Ok, please tell me it's not just our house....the kids were bored today!!!!!

Pleeeaaase! They wait all year to do all the things they can't, but then nothing sounds good! I will admit it was a little colder than it has been, so they did not go to Swim Team and it was a little wet, so that ruled out playing by the canal for the boys, but still! Personally, I really think its just okay to do absolutely nothing for a few days. These kids are kept pretty darn busy (as you can tell from my blog) most of the year, so downtime is just ok with me!

I did take Natalie to the library last night and we came home stocked for at least a few days. She had one book finished by 2 this afternoon already, so reading will keep her busy for a little while. Summer is the only time I allow my self to read. I feel incredibly guilty when I sit down to read. I always feel there is something else more important I should be doing. So, I try to get my daily to-do list done early and indulge on the patio for an hour some afternoons reading a book. My Aunt Joan stopped over yesterday and I found myself apologizing to her for finding me relaxing. That is how I always have been. Tough habit to break!

Another rite of passage. Jenna had an appointment today with Dr. Tinkler to schedule to have her to wisdom teeth out. Next Tuesday, 8 a.m. (Better her than me....yuckk!)

Well, it's almost the weekend again....where did May go?
I won't even say it...., ok, ok,.... before we know it, we'll all be saying, "Where did the summer go?"

Lets enjoy and savor each day.
