I must admit there have been a few lazy days in and around all of these things chronicled above, but what happened to the quiet, lazy days of summer from years past--where the kids complained of boredom and days by the pool and reading books and eating popsicles and playing outside were all that was done?
We are so blessed that we were able to do these things. So, I'm not complaining...just wondering if anyone else has noticed that the lazy days of summer are no more?
Love your post and the pic of the kids as your background. Looks great!! I hope I will have time to keep mine up once I start working again.
