Up to nothing

Lazy, lazy summer. We've not done a thing.

We could keep ourselves busy with house projects, sorting out the garage, organizing the closet, or just keeping busy with the usual daily chores. By the time you get the house clean, you could do it all over again. And yeah, I've gotten a lot done. Things that are impossible to squeeze in during the school year, like fresh molding and painting a few walls, but no huge projects.

And I suppose with all this free time, I could be doing some great art projects with the kids, or awesome field trips. But I am just enjoying a little time off, honestly. I still have to get myself to work, and maintain the normal motherly duties, and that keeps me busy enough. So a little bit of do nothing time is wonderfully refreshing.

We have been taking little walks, getting caught in a thunderstorm, heading back home, and going back out an hour later when the rain stops. Just because we can.
We have catching up on reading (for pleasure!) and pulling up the lawn chair to the kiddie pool to dip our toes. Life is good. Life is so good.

For those who know my family well, does this face remind you of anyone?
