Sunday Snapshot - It's Baaaack...


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 crazier crazy!

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 the loafers my little darlings that if I hear that word, that dreaded word, come out of their sweet little mouths, they will be assigned a chore - a "Bore Chore!"  Bwahahahaha!!!

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!

  1. 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!"

  2. Bore chore. I'm sure I'll be using that one in the future...
    And can I just say that I LOVE that one of your ice cream helpers was wearing her swimsuit and goggles. :)

  10. Hey 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.

    And 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!
