Those that know me know that summertime is my absolute FAVORITE time of the year. It is right up there with spring break and Christmas break too :) The common theme in all of these is of course the fact that my kids are all home with little to no schedules to worry about. We can do WHATEVER we want WHENEVER we want and I LOVE that. I love having my kids home with me; I love having extra kids here sleeping over and just hanging out; I basically just love a house full of kids here having fun.
At the beginning of the summer we made a "summer list". It includes tons of things that we wanted to make sure that we accomplished during the summer. So far we are doing pretty good although alot of the "big" things may not end up happening because we are running out of time. There are lots of little (free) things on our list and some other (not so free) things as well. One of the things we did pretty early this summer was pick strawberries. We live in Oregon which means that much of the time we are lacking in the sunshine department so on this cloudy day we chose to head out to Sauvie's Island and pick some berries. Emilee (my oldest) did not participate as she is just too grown up to pick berries now (sad) but it was a very fun time and we had alot of fun.
although, at the end of the day, we all agree that eating them is FAR more fun than picking them!!!
love that I get to read your blog:))
