It's summer here in NE Ohio, though it feels like the spring we didn't get. I took my kids to the pool today for what was supposed to be a joyous swimming occasion. However, after enduring swim lessons and staying for only 2 sessions, we headed back home. It was chilly!! And cloudy!! And that's no good for my suntan, eh, I mean my kids swimming experience. ;)
However, the day was not a bust. I ended up with an additional 3 kids in my home for a grand total of 6 children ages 8 and under. And I don't mind it one bit! I couldn't give them the great summer's day at the pool that we all wanted, but I could allow them to bring their pool friends home so they could still have fun.
I LOVE summer!! I love the last minute playdates that I'm able to provide since I'm home for these 9 weeks. I LOVE being here when they wake up and I LOVE our relaxing mornings. I LOVE making lunch for my kids and as a bonus, eating with them. I LOVE cooking dinner; not a rushed dinner(see previous post bag o'dinner) or a crock pot meal, but a fresh from the oven/off the grill dinner. I just LOVE summer!
So for today, even though the sun isn't shining and it's not 98 degrees, I will enjoy this beautiful summer day... beautiful b/c I'm home with my family and there's nowhere I'd rather be right now.
True summer love shines through. In our profession we are blessed with still being able to have a long summer vacation. Enjoy every twist and turn!
