Summertime
June 3, 2009
It’s official.
Summer is here.
The kids are out of school.
(If you’re new here, I recently enrolled my kids in public school. They had been homeschooled all their lives.) I was pleased that when the school year ended, the kids were sent hom with assessments and even school books – as a homeschooling mom, we learned every day, all year long. The kids are doing schoolwork without me even asking them to.
The swimming lessons began Monday.
I only signed up the 3 older kids because of the height requirement, but Sadie used her charms on the instructors and each day they’ve pulled her into the pool with the others.
I really wish I had done this years ago.
My boys are intimidated by the water and started to complain a little today. It’s not their first time swimming of course. Every summer we would hit the pool, the beach, etc. It’s just that they were never formally taught to swim. The girls are much more fearless, probably because they’re younger.
The annual run to Old Navy for flip flops has been accomplished.
My shoulders are a bit burned.
I never laid in the sun as a teen but last Sunday it was so gorgeous out, I decided to sit and read in my backyard. Nothing too bad, but I’ll be more careful next
time. It feels so good to soak up the sun after a month of having mostly rain here in Atlanta.
I have discovered Edy’s Lime popsicles and they rock my world.
(In a pinch, I have thrown one into the blender with a little triple sec and tequila and it makes a darn good margarita!)
What are you up to?

Got something to say?
Swimming is so much fun! I still love it. Just not getting into a swimming suit!
