Summer Recap

Now that summer is officially over for us and all my children are back in school, I thought I'd do a little summer recap.

First of all I will start with the things I mentioned in my beginning of summer post.  You know, the things I planned to do this summer.....

1. organizing....well, I got just about all the rooms done.  I still have to declutter my bedroom and now move Patrick and Matthew into Ben's room which is now vacated.  I plan on having a yard sale soon, so this will help me declutter even more.

2. aerobics....I have to admit that I only got to aerobics two times.  I did work-out and do my morning walk/jogs, but it's just so hard to get to the gym at an exact time.

3. scrapbooking....got a bunch done at family camp, but again, not quite as much as I would of liked.  I still have it out in the dining room and hope to "catch-up" soon.

4. pool....we went to the pool a good bit and overall had a great time.  I did only take the younger ones (meaning 10 and unders) by myself just once.  It's much too hard and not worth the trouble with 2 not walking and not an older one to help.

Well, here are a few pics I took with my cell phone that captured some obscure summer moments.

We all rode the tractors at Home Depot!

Trigger got a much needed haircut in the 100 degree heat~

The kids had fun fishing this summer in the neighborhood pond, but we really didn't catch much of anything bigger than the fish above : )

Our garden kind of wilted in the high temps.....we did get some pretty vegetables, but not much of a bountiful harvest~
