The lazy days of summer!

I just love summer! It's virtually the only time of year that I don't drown myself and my family with over-scheduling and time constraints. On summer days our activities are filled with spontaneity and I don't apply the typical "rush" that seems to accompany activites during other times of the year. My days off are so precious to me because I get to hang out with my kids all day long. Our neighborhood is so awesome because we have probably 10 parks within a 2 mile radius, which makes it so convenient to just head to the park anytime we want. We also have a splash pad down the street that the kids love to go to pretty much every day. It's relaxing for me because I get to sit in the shade, read a book, and just watch the kids have a blast. It's also a great hang-out for moms who are looking to get together with other moms and have a picnic. These days will go by all too quickly. I hope I can help the kids have a great summer before they have to head back to school next month.
