thoughts on summer...


at this point in my life, i still look forward to summer. i love summer! my girls love summer. i love having brooklyn home all day every day. i love the flexibility of summer, our semi-schedule that we've created and i'm really getting sad for it to end. at some points it's absolutely exhausting, that's true, but it's so worth it!


my girls, all three of them, have learned to play together really well over the last two months. just last night, i sent them to the backyard and told them they couldn't come in until their dad got home. don't worry, they'd eaten dinner and the sun was still high in the sky. james got home, and there they were, all three of them, jumping on the tramp and giggling. they'd been out there for two hours. just having fun together. granted, they were soaking wet from the hose and it was definitely bed time when all was said and done. but these girls are living for summer and i hope they're making the best childhood memories possible! i also hope they're gaining an appreciation for each other. they will be best friends their whole lives and there is nothing more special than that.





class lists were posted today. brooklyn was anxious all day to see who was and wasn't going to be in her second grade class this upcoming school year. she's so excited for school to start and i'm still doing everything i can to slow this summer down. my tune might change in the next week, but for right now, i'm soaking up every second, every trip to the pool, every sticky mess, every batch of pool towels, and every tan line these little chicas have. especially on those cute bottoms of theirs. i can't help it.
