So I am on an e-mail list for a "mom" newsletter. The main article of the last newsletter was about how much some moms dread the summer because their kids are out of school and home with them all day. Okay, all I can say to THAT is WHAAAAAAA!!! Poor YOU! Let's put this into perspective... I have worked for 16 years - I finally have the opportunity to stay home with my kids, so I am THRILLED and have been looking forward to the summer for months. I have friends who also work full-time and can only see their kids at night and on weekends. So... for all of my stay-at-home mom friends who get a little overwhelmed and are counting the days until the next school year, I say "Get over it and ENJOY YOUR KIDS!" Be thankful you CAN stay at home with them!! Now, I have no delusions that this summer will be all swimming, snow cones and smiling, happy kiddos all summer, but I do HOPE I can keep my own attitude in check if the sugar from those snow cones start to get my little ones a little hyper and working my nerves!
Okay, maybe that is all a little harsh - but, you get the idea ~ and I mean it with all of the love in the world, mom friends! So, in the spirit of SUMMER, here are some pics of the kiddos starting to enjoy this one!
Kenna's First Trip to the Pool - Ever...
This made me giggle... Drew cannot swim yet (on our To Do List this summer!), so he had these other two boys (whom he had just met that day) tote him around the pool.
At She-She and Gs...
No school tomorrow!!!
Peter Piper Pizza
This is how Drew came downstairs after getting up one morning...
Lunch with friends - Julie, Austin and Addison
Sidewalk Chalk!
A little too hot for the park?!
Now, go out and enjoy your summer, too - and, No Crybabies Allowed!!

Amen Sistaa! I agree - enjoy these kids because the memories are priceless, and your kids are adorable. We had a great time at lunch - we need to do it again, but with a nanny! (j/k)
