Caden and I are filling the pools today and I realized that lots of kids are starting school this week or next and that this is my last summer to not have to worry about that. Wow. So - while some kids are going to school, mine are in the backyard playing in the pool. How lucky are we? And how lucky am I that I get to play outside with my kids on a hot summer day and I don't have to be in an office. Sure, I am busy and there is lots to do but I don't have to answer to anyone. Someday, I'll be back at work wishing I could be home. That's a while away, likely. And maybe when I'm doing that we'll be able to travel and eat out and go to the fair :) but in the meantime I guess we sacrifice some stuff for 'the good stuff', like the song by Kenny Chesney talks about. THIS is the good stuff, family and friends and summertime. LOVE IT.
Most of you know that I worked in a couple of daycare centers before I had kids and we cooked meals, made snacks, washed floors, vacuumed, dusted. All of that stuff. I remember wishing I was at home with my own kids so that at the end of the day it was MY house that was washed, dusted and vacuumed. Well, here I am! And surrounded by the cutest and funniest kids ever. Lucky lucky me!

Lucky Lucky you and me :)
I have only Isaac at home this year. That's different! And I really wasn't ready to "get rid" of my kids for school, today. But I am soooo thankful I still have two more years with at least one of them at home! :)
ENJOY!!!!!
