Lazy rainy days and no school has the kids looking for things to do. I'm ready to take them to the pool or just spend some sunny days around the house! We always have that first week of no school to be the week of changes, sleeping in, late starts to our day and late nights. It's an adjustment for all of us but we did fine! Because of the rains, I didn't walk at the park so I slept in too! I found this puzzle at a thrift store the other week and Ashlyn and I devoured it on one of the rainy days. We also started our summer reads with Huckleberry Fin! Ashlyn baked some cookies to pass the clouds away!
Both Ashlyn and Austin need some kind of jobs this summer. Sure they will help me here at home and I do hope to have their help with the laundry and house chores but they need more! I need to get creative with our time this summer! Drawing and coloring is something fun to do while I read aloud to them!
The kale is ready in the garden and we had leftover sausage from the cabin, so I made Zuppa Tuscana soup for supper! Yum yum!
I sure do love summer time and we are looking forward to days poolside and getting our first tan lines! The smell of fresh meadow tea has arrived in the kitchen! I'm looking forward to many ballgame nights and watching the Phillies on the back porch on warm summer nights! I hope the vase in my kitchen remains full of summer blooms! Mowing the green grass and even pulling the weeds are all a part of summer chores! Summer is always full of late night and sleep in mornings! We are extremely blessed!
