Summertime that is and we are so ready, HOT but ready, by golly!
We have made some ice cream
some really yummy ice cream
Cookies and Cream ice cream, to be exact!
We have done some swimming - with friends
and some slipping
and some sliding
We have enjoyed my Mom's beautiful yard
and her fabulous cooking!
We are ready!
However, around here, summertime comes with a word of warning...
I do NOT like the word "bored" and yet every summer as the kids look forward to being able to sleep late (yeah, that never works) and do nothing, every summer, about one week out, it happens! That word leaks out, that dreaded word reappears and it drives me
This year, I have laid it out for them and am looking forward to a little help around the house.
Why, you might ask?
Well, I have warned
So here's to long lazy (but not "that word") days, summer baths (the pool), eating dinner on the front porch (esp after the house has been cleaned - Bore Chore #1), soccer on the beach (yeah, ya knew we couldn't go all summer without it), grilling out (night off for me - yippee) and FAMILY TIME!!!
Yep summer, bring it on! My house could use a good cleaning! Hehe!
To join in on more Sunday Snapshots, go here,
Great shots and sounds like a lovely summer is planned! We always give chores when the kids say they are bored--but I love the title "Bore Chore!"
ReplyDeleteBore chore. I'm sure I'll be using that one in the future...
ReplyDeleteAnd can I just say that I LOVE that one of your ice cream helpers was wearing her swimsuit and goggles. :)
Hummm cookies and cream ice cream!
ReplyDeleteCookies and cream ice cream is my fav! Homemade? Even better! :) Beautiful pictures! Kinda wondering if your mom wants to come cook for us??? Yum, yum, yum! :) Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about it too! Kaish has school until June 21, but we are SO ready for it to be over so we can treasure each day : ) The sun and the fun will abound. I am ecstatic about it!
ReplyDeletelooks like you are having fun already!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for some ice cream, swimming, and some yummy food...what time shall I be there? I promise I won't utter the word "bored", not even think it! Looks like y'all got it going on! Here's to summer!

I'm still having trouble leaving comments on most blogs
Looks like a great time and I LOVE your front porch.
ReplyDeleteLove it! My kiddos and I have already discussed how we will all be working together this summer to clean the house. :)
ReplyDeleteHey my friend....it's been wayyyy too long here. I'm still figuring all this out and trying to stay afloat myself. HA! LOVE the pics of your summer fun already. And can I PLEASE come be bored with you? ;) Oh it would be a blast.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for commenting, blogger is not working for me either....my friends' pictures are gone yet it still shows me the number of friends following. I can't figure it out at all and no brain cells left to do it. LOL!!
Anyway, enjoy your summer without the "bore"dom! ;) HUGS!
Yay for summer and home-made ice cream!
ReplyDeleteGood plan for tackling the "I'm bored" comments! ;)
I'm going to steal the "Bore Chore" if you don't mind! That ice cream sure looks good!
