These are the things I've gotten to do so far this summer. We were trying hard to get some of them done soon, especially since it's been raining.
Reading a good book. I've actually read several this summer, and I had a couple read to me, which was wonderful!! Ella Enchanted (chapter book for children) is fun, as is Waking Beauty (picture book for everyone, even my husband enjoyed it)
Dancing to a good song. We were all in the kitchen getting dinner ready when a song we all know came on the radio, we all started dancing. Good thing nothing burned!
Dancing in the rain. We have been doing this every chance we get, luckily we are actually having good rains this year.
Playing outside as the sun sets. I started letting the kids play in the yard in the evenings even though it puts bedtime later. I think the time spent with each other is more important. Besides, they are trying to sell mudpies to the people driving and walking by the house. I'm curious if they get any takers.
Swinging. We went to the park in the evening and started swinging together, ah, it was relaxing. Now we are considering a porch swing.
Coloring. My son is letting me color with him almost every morning. I'm not sure if the coloring is more fun, or if his directions are more entertaining. I hear "Mom, color carefully, inside the lines, here's your crayon." from my 3 year old, it really is the best.
Eating popcorn. We had a WONDERFUL time at tea with friends and we got to eat popcorn. Ahhhh, tea.
