Back to work tomorrow for the second session of the summer. My fingers are crossed that after a week and a half of battling illness that my family is all better. We can't keep being sick we have a summer to enjoy.
All though to be honest we don't have any major plans. Our plans consist mainly of relaxing as much as possible. I am finding that this isn't as easy as it once was.
The two older kids are busy, busy, busy. They are both swimming 3-5 days a week, participating in swim meets and participating in Jr. Life Guards. I am starting to think that S.'s participation in Jr. Life Guards is more for her social life than an opportunity to learn some life guard skills.
However, I have discovered how awesome it is to have her little brother hang with her. It is GREAT how much he lets me know. :)
The younger two are also jumping into the pool but mainly they are enjoying the freedom of summer.
We are anxiously awaiting summer weather. It has yet to warm up to the point that we "KNOW" summer is here. It has rained and rained and rained another day or two and the weatherman say that this will be the wettest June EVER in Utah. Just the kind of record you want in June, right?
That is about all that is going on right now. With everyone being so sick I feel like I haven't had a chance to say hi everyone, see what your up to, see how your summer is going.
Knowing that I thought I would ask an actual, "SwimMom Question," and ask "What are you up to? How is your Summer going?"
Come on people share your excitement between the pool and sick kids my life is very limited.
Happy Summer V-Cay Monday!
