Our Summer

Recording our fun summer happenings just hasn't happened much this summer. We've had an incredibly fun summer....we've make so many fantastic memories and we've been making up for a lackluster summer last year. Our Summer list is getting down to the last few things. We DO still have 3 weeks of summer left but I just wanted to do a quick wrap up picture post of some of the many MANY things that we've done to stay busy this summer!

I like to stay busy. This is common knowledge by now but I have been thinking a lot lately about WHY I am the way I am. I figured it was a few things.......I am trying to be a good mom, I like playing myself  (a selfish reason then maybe?), I want to make the most out of my time spent with my kids, I take after my Grandma EE, I don't have many close friends here and so this is the way that I cope with that, I would rather be out and about and wear my kids out then stay home and have them fight all day long, I want to teach my kids to get out and enjoy and appreciate the outdoors, I want my children to remember that I experienced life with them and this is how I show them that I love them. Who knows....perhaps it is all of these reasons and more. People make comments...they say I am crazy, or that I am the most spontaneous person they know. They think I am never home or that I don't like to ever stay home. I guess sometimes I wish I had a good answer. But I don't. It's just me and that's who I am and what I do. Take me or leave me......whatever, it's just how I roll.

3 weeks of summer left, we're done school shopping so we don't have to think about it until it gets here! Now to finish off our list........
