We started a Summer Fun List on Sunday afternoon on the chalkboard, but Scrunch erased most of it within the hour so she could color. I went to town adding to it. Because so help me, we are gonna have fun dammit! We are going to have so much fun the kids will be begging us to put them to sleep in the evenings. I know I start begging for sleep about three-thirty in the afternoon.
Crossing barbecue off the list is in progress.
"Why, yes babe, why not invite your boss and a bunch of work dudes and their families to dinner at our place after one of the busiest weeks ever?"
"And while we're at it let's repaint the hallway leading to the bathroom they'll use and rip up the carpet to finish the flooring."
Oy. We might need to revisit the definition of fun.
Next week we'll start getting the hang of it with a trip to the Monterrey Bay Aquarium, camping at Big Sur, and a beach party! After a week at home it looks like we're probably headed to Portland for a week and then three days later we make our exodus to Zion for a wedding and to catch up with some family. It's gonna be nuts! And fun, so help me! And hey, it's summer! You reduce laundry by wearing your swim suit for three days at a time and survive it with naps in the car.
