The Summer Begins....

The last day of school was had. The boys have officially been on Summer Vacation now for 20 hours. How many hours until September? It's actually been sort of funny; children faced with a plethora of things to do, and not knowing which way to turn. So, Tom ended up sitting for over an hour yesterday reading a book. Billy, on the other hand sat on a cusion atop the slide platform, staring up at the sky, eating popcorn. Of course, then there was their constant attempt at helping me while I put together my new patio furniture last night. Oh, thank you Katie for taking them on that walk, short as it was. It only took me an hour to recover that last bolt, and all the tools which walked away from my tool box on two year old legs. Remarkably, this morning Katie got off to work right on schedule. Amazing!!! The incessant chattering has now ceased, as two are dressing, one is eating, and the other is wandering around, half naked somewhere...no, it isn't me. I guess I'll have to put up that pool pretty soon. Wasn't it supposed to be sunny today? SO, let's put air in the bike tires, set up the pool, add sand to the sandbox, and break out the baseball mitts. Let the Summer begin.
