Summer.
Summer for our family means busy days, staying up late, sleeping in, fun with friends, and family vacation.
It also means having all the kids under one roof. My stepchildren primarily live with their mother during the school year, but for eight weeks of the summer, they are with us. We love having everyone together following the same routine, blending, making memories.
Summer means finding more turtles for our turtle garden. At present, we have 11 box turtles in our habitat. They are so fun to watch, each with a different personality. And the kids love digging up grubs and worms to feed them.
For Hubs, summer means plenty of time to do what he loves…gardening…being outside, planting, watering, dreaming.
For me, summer means sleeping in. Did I already mention that? And reading…lots of reading. Fiction. Bliss.
This summer….
Two of our kids are participating in a summer long fitness/sports camp. So four days a week I’m shuttling them back and forth.
One of our sons is playing on a tournament baseball team.
Two of our kids are taking voice lessons. More shuttling.
And two of our kids are learning to knit.
I am participating in a weekly Bible study with five of my amazing friends. We’re studying Hebrews chapter by chapter.
We’re also challenging one another to a healthier lifestyle. In fact, we have a friendly competition going on. So bootcamp and hot mama status…here I come. Hubs is ecstatic!
I also have several crafty projects lined up…one already completed which I’ll be blogging about next week.
So if you’re wondering why I haven’t been around as much lately, I have one word for you…..SUMMER!
What are your summer plans?
