Yes, I know there are technically three more days of school left. But I gotta say, we are definitely in summer mode. We're talking trips to the pool, late bedtimes, lax eating schedules. Too much time playing video games. Letting time get away from us. Riding bikes in steaming Texas heat. Coming home for a popsicle. We're there.
Friday night we started our annual summer ritual - the making of the Wish List. You write down all the things you want to accomplish over the summer. Spend time with your best friend, learn to play the Pokemon card game, go to Disney Land, ride a horse, read a good book, visit Grandma and Grandpa, swim with your cousins. All that stuff. Not all of it will get done. Some of it will.
You don't see any pictures of the teenager in these shots, do you? That's because he's got his own summer ritual. He's laid up in his Man Cave with a bag of chips in one hand and an XBox controller in the other. (Plus he wouldn't be caught DEAD at the public pool swimming and actin' a fool with his little brothers).
I've researched all the summer reading programs. We're scheduling swim lessons. Right now it's all in front of us, and we're looking forward to it. In the blink of an eye it will be Fall and we'll be getting back-to-school supplies. But in that brief in-between time, we'll be sporting red marks under our eyes from where we wiped the sunscreen off & spent too much time in the sun. Here's to a rocking Summer of 2012!
