Summer Is.....

Isa just got done with summer preschool, so i feel like our SUMMER IS just beginning. And, we are loving it! At our house SUMMER IS.... 

Kool-Aid (yes, I'm old fashioned, I believe that children still deserve yummy sugary drinks once in awhile!)

SUMMER IS......homemade Popsicles

SUMMER IS.....yard work.  I love Monday mornings-that's the day I whip out my lawn mower and enjoy being out in the yard while the kids run around.  This is our second summer since we seeded our lawn, and I think our lawn FINALLY has more grass than weeds,  and our park strip that we planted last Fall has all filled in, wahoo! And, we are enjoying it!  I love going out and enjoying a summer yard!

SUMMER IS....bare feet and running in the lawn

SUMMER IS....putting on your swimming suit as soon as you roll out of bed....and enjoying those homemade Popsicles.

SUMMER IS....all about being goofy and care free

SUMMER IS...cooking up COOL recipes when it's too HOT to go outside.

Yummy healthy frozen treats.

Recipe: Quaker mini caramel rice cakes, mix a couple Tbsp. of low fat cream cheese with a cup of Fat Free Cool Whip, add a dash of cinnamon and vanilla...spread on rice cake, add a couple mini chocolate chips, add another rice cake on top and then freeze for a few hours. Tastes like ice cream sandwiches-but healthier!

SUMMER IS....going to the park for a picnic and feeding the ducks

SUMMER IS...sweet....especially when dad has a day off of work to play!

Summer is.....RED cheeks from playing outside all day long

I hope every one's SUMMER IS.....AMAZING!
