SCHOOL IS ALMOST OUT! WOOHOO!!!!
I just want to say that I'm VERY happy school is almost out. I am ready to delve into a summer full of warmth, fun times with extended family and friends, and just hanging out. I'm ready for children, sticky with melted popsicles or runny watermelon juice, running through the sprinklers. I'm ready to smell like a campfire, laughing and roasting marshmallows and stuffing myself silly with one-too-many smore's. I'm ready for fat, juicy barbecued hamburgers, potato salad, and jello. I'm ready for the sweltering parades, the fireworks, and the crowded streets while looking at all the vendors' overpriced wares. I am ready for all of this and more. This is one of my most favorite times of the year. Yes, I know that when the kids are all together for such long periods of time, there will be occasional fights to break up and bloody knees to bandage, but we will be together, making memories and building friendships that will last a lifetime and beyond. Welcome back, summer. I've missed you so. I hope it will be everything I'm expecting and more.

What a great attitude! I've been looking at summer as something that happens and ready or not, here it is. I have a lot to learn from this wonderful attitude of yours. Thank you, Lisa. :) I hope your summer is everything you want it to be.
Me too! You summed up all my feelings about summer! It is my FAVORITE time of the year and I can hardly wait. I don't mind having the kids home, even though it does get difficult. I still love it!!!!!
It's already been great for us to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. The kids sleep better at night and have more fun during the day. I don't like the sweltering heat, but look forward to all the get-togethers, camping and all. Nice post!!
I'm excited for summer too. Please let me know if you're coming up to the park, and Emily and I will come join you for picnic or just to hang out!
