Mosquito bites, slip-n-slides, sunscreen, long days at the pool and ice pops are what summer is all about. Yesterday we cooked out with friends while we watched the kids have a ball with the hose. They jumped in and out of the 3x4 foot plastic baby pool that is held together with duct tape, dined on chips and cupcakes (leaving no room for the main course- of course) and fell into our patio chairs in utter exhaustion. In bed by 9:45 p.m. What a perfect summer day!
Today when I turned on my computer the most delightful thing happened. Nothing. No pop up reminders of teacher conferences, room parent phone call reminders, soccer practice schedules. Another sure sign that summer has arrived. For the next 10 weeks we get to just be.
Summer is here and I am loving it!
