I just want to say that we have been having a wonderful summer. After spending the last 2 summers pregnant and miserable I can say that I am truly enjoying summer time with the family. Most evenings the kids and I sit out on the front step and wait for Jake to get home. I usually have dinner waiting so we can head right to the table once he pulls in. As soon as dinner is over we usually start watering in the back yard. This year we have spent a lot of time working on our garden. We planted tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini and several herbs. After dinner we make the rounds with the hose and make sure everything is looking good. It is our favorite part of the day.
The other night I decided to pull out the camera. The kids go down for bed around 7:30 so we really only have about 20 to 30 minutes of after dinner fun. Thankfully the time is well spent. Usually the watering takes about 10 minutes before we can leave the rest to the sprinkler to do the lawn. Once that is going it is dad and boy time. Squirt guns were probably the best money spent this summer. Andy on the other hand prefers the sandbox.
These are the best day's of my life. I am so thankful for this time. Hug your babies and know that times goes fast.
I love this post kristy! You are so right that time goes by fast - it's so amazing to watch my kids grow up before my eyes. I'm glad you are enjoying your summer so much :)
