Summer Fun is almost here

So last night I stayed up way past my bedtime to watch 4 season final. Yes 4! Sheesh. I will actually be glad when they are all over and I don't feel obligated to see what happens. Last summer I cut off the cable because everything was re-runs but this summer Blake is here and that won't fly -although my plan is to not watch TV when I get home from work this summer. I plan to spend most of it outside with Bailey enjoying the hot sun and little pleasures in life (water sprinkler, pool time, blowing bubbles, side walk chalk, reading library books...) Even though I still work the same hours it feels like there is more time in the day because the sun stays up until 7:30 PM.

A popular post among blogs is to make lists of summer activities to complete with your child or children. I have been thinking about what things and places to go with Bailey but didn't think about making a chart for her to mark off items. I started making a list of things to do with Bailey before the summer is over - our last summer as a family of three. Then I started thinking about all the things I needed/wanted to accomplish this summer...a few big things, but doable. It's going to be a great summer and we are excited that Blake will be here...he was gone the summers of 2008 & 2010 and half of 2009 with the Air Force.

I will see how the chart goes - it's Tuesday Craft Night tonight! I might have to skip on making baby shower gifts and make a fun check list for Bailey.
