Why I Love Summer

  1. I slept in until 8 am today. It gets better...the kids slept until I woke them up at 9:30!
  2. Even though I still make a schedule, it doesn't really matter if I stick to it.
  3. Time with cousins. We had our first Grandma day this week and I think there are plans in the works for the Toone cousins to start getting together more frequently this summer. Yay!
  4. The best big sister in the world is home all day to entertain her enamored younger brother.
  5. The promise of garden fresh produce.
  6. Warm summer nights spent outside lounging in the cool grass (I think that we'll experience this eventually).
  7. Meals outside on the patio.
  8. Children who get bathed in the morning and at night because they are filthy from a day of fun outside.
  9. Camping, 4-wheeling, hiking, biking, swimming, and exploring the great outdoors.
  10. It always comes to an end--and by the time it does, I am ready for it.

Hope it all works for you. Just wait for the sleepovers. Then the fun begins. Have a great summer.
