Summer

School is out for the summer and we spent much of this week trying to adjust to our summer time schedule. Having 8 kids home with me during the day means this:

*Blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes every single day.

*Long day trips to the swimming pool accompanied by bottles and bottles and bottles of sunscreen.

*Sunburn (regardless of above mentioned sunscreen).

*Fireflies and popsicles.

*Late nights and the sound of screen doors slamming shut over and over and over again.

*Piles of flip flops.

*A drier filled with beach towels.

*18 slices of bread for ONE lunch.

*Reminders, lots of them, that start off slow and gentle and quickly turn into something else by the 23rd time.

*Sprinklers and wading pools and big bright beach umbrellas.

*Hugs and hugs and cuddles and hugs and even more hugs.

It's going to be a great summer.

Did you know that we only have about 4 weeks left until the Sprint?
