Mellowing Out

The Summer is coming to an end.

There have been several night time trips to the park.
Bug and Rock Collecting.
Hundreds of Popsicles consumed.
Too many flies in the house from the backyard fun.
Random water hosings.
Loads of fruit cut and devoured.
Random nap taking.
Lightening Storms.
After dinner walks.
Crack the Whip Challenges.
And of course a whole lotta Golf.

And even though there are 2 more things left on our 50 Summer Fun List and only 12 official days of Summer Left... the one thing we learned about ourselves is that now matter what we do -  the most important thing is that we are all together.  My kids thrive on having both parents at home and luckily, we can provide just that. They truly benefit from quality time -  not from doing 100 things, or going to amusement parks, or anything outrageous and over the top. 
I am happy with the job we are doing with the raising of these little people.
They truly are growing up to be aware and kind and thoughtful.

Now - really? 12 days till school starts?!?! aaah!
