Thank you, Summer!


Thank you for no lunches to pack, three kids under foot, hot sand between my toes and early morning cups of tea on my back deck.  Thank you for swimming lessons and basketball camps, for more time to walk my dogs, for visits with friends I never get to see.  Thank you for skin turned toasty brown and eyes sparkling in the sunshine.  Thank you for REST!!!

As much as I love the crisp autumn air and the excitement of new activities in the fall, I will fully admit that I always dread the end of summer holidays.  Here are a few reasons why:

My men lose all sense of reason and revert to savages

My daughter wears rubber boots and pajamas while I snap her picture!


More time to eat junk food with friends
Lulu and Toby actually get to see their humans



Ah well, time to buck up and check the attitude.  Onward and upward!  Change is good.  Routine is healthy.  September, here we come!

But, oh summer, how I will miss you....
