Carisa at 1+1+1=1 participated in this meme last week and truthfully...the little graphic just hooked me in. Just too stinkin' cute, it is. I'm apparently a sucker for graphics.
This week's task ~ tell about 10 things that you love about summer. Oh, I know I can definitely do that:
- Grilling. Even though there is prep work involved for me, I love the fact that my hubby gets to help cook. Especially since there are some meals that just NEED to be grilled. Tonight's meal in fact...and you are so going to want to try it after I post the recipe tomorrow!
- Water gun fights. I might put up a good facade about not liking to get wet, but there is something very fun about soaking your family members with a fully loaded super-soaker. Especially your husband.
- Summer reading. Pile on the books...I love to curl up with a good book and during the summer books are just begging to be read.
- Vacation Bible School. We have some great churches in our area that run some fabulous VBS programs. I just love
dropping my kids offseeing my kids excited to learn more about God and make some new friends to boot. - Vacation. My husband does take off other vacation time during the year...but there is just something about summer vacation that is a little different. Especially visiting friends and family.
- Swim Team. Our kids have learned so much through our local swim team and even I gained a HUGE boost in confidence in being able to keep all 4 kids floating ~ at the same time.
- Planning. How sick is that? Having a bit of a breather in the summer/end of school gives me a chance to get a new perspective on the upcoming school year, make plans, make forms....it's bliss, I tell ya!
- Longer days. Maybe I'm not so fond of the sun in the morning, but I love it is lighter longer at night.
- Family walks and bike rides. So much more difficult when the weather is icky and cold, but lovely this time of year.
- Homemade ice cream. There is nothing more yummy and
fatteningdelicious than a quart of homemade ice cream ~ oreo, butter pecan, chocolate, chocolate oreo...should I go on?
p.s. Don't forget to enter the giveaway for How Sweet it Is!
I love your list! :-)
