School's Out for Summer!

And so begins that wonderful season of summertime!

The time where I wake up each morning and lay in bed

for a few minutes, just to give myself a chance

 to remember if my kids are home or not...

and if they are home, 

I stop to try to recall

if I have any extra kids in my home. 

It's also the time when I do load after load of laundry

 and as I am taking clothes out of the dryer 

there will more likely than not 

be an item or two of clothing that I totally 

don't recognize and wonder how on earth they got there. 

It's the time that my back door 
magically turns into a revolving door 

with kids constanly coming in and out.

Kids that are  

constantly hungry

constantly thirsty

but, thankfully, rarely bored...

It's the time that no matter how hard I try 
I can't seem to ever have enough clean towels in the house.

It's the time when I remember just how loud 

multiple children, barking dogs, and the TV can be!

And, it's the time...that I treasure and love with all my heart. 
Happy summer - may you and your family make many wonderful memories!
