Summer

I love summer! Each year, I love summer even more. I love the quietness of it, I love the funness (it's my blog, so I get to make up words), I love summertime food, I love the trips, and I love that it's what I make of it--not too many demands. So, here's a look at our summer:

~craft projects galore! (necklaces, skirts, art camp, playing in the preschool room for most of the day)

~trips to the beach, parks, the library

~bike riding (to the parks and the library, but not to the beach, which is 45 minutes by car)

~Lake Tahoe

~smoothies (we make 1 or 2 every day--our new fave is Watermelon smoothies)

~reading, reading, reading (In Defense of Food, Candy Shop Wars, Harry Potter (I'm on #3 and E & R are on #6), The Pit Dragon series) Any good suggestions to finish out my summer?

~playing (thankfully, the girls can play for hours with each other--it makes my heart happy) (Did you read this study?)

~trips to the doctor's office (a record 6 visits in 2 days!!!) (Have you ever tried to get a 2-year old to pee in a cup??? Pretty funny.) Good things we have learned from the doctors this summer: Liz does not have a UTI, Em does not have melanoma and Ray does not have a brain tumor. All very good things to hear.
