Summertime

Ever get a song stuck in your head? Cole’s been singing a Veggie’s Tale song that is stuck in mine:

“We are the pirates, we don’t do anything.
We just stay home and lie around.
And if you ask us to do anything,
We’ll just tell you we don’t do anything.”

Maybe it’s stuck because this is my new view into the playroom from my office. Goodbye to order, peace, tranquility . . . need I go on?

I love summertime. In addition to “lying around” we’re making plans to do all the nearby fun stuff (too pregnant to go far): A trip to the zoo, a day at the new waterpark, Splash Kingdom, Six Flags, Vacation Bible School, Chuckie Cheese’s, lots of putt-putt, Day Camp at Sky Ranch, sleepovers with friends, hanging out with cousins, and camping out at the lake with Grammy and Granddad.

Though summertime brings it’s challenges with more toys to pick-up, more fights to diffuse, more messes to clean up, and thinking up more creative responses to, “I’m bored,” I enjoy having the kids at home. The memories made during summertime are usually the best memories ever.

How are you able to be so energetic?? My cousin is due to have a baby in 3 weeks and for the past 2 months she hasn't had enough energy to do more than go to Walmart and fix up the nursery. The baby has completely worn her out. How do you do it?

You said that you can't go far... try looking at www.gocitykids.com It's a GREAT site to help find kid friendly things to do - they are selective at what cities they have, but they do have Dallas.
