It's Been Quite Sometime Hasn't It? Figure It was Time to Stop By!

With the summer at it's 1/2 way point, I am somewhat saddened but happy at the same time.  We all revel in the chance to have fun over the course of the summer, enjoying family outings, going to the beach, an occasional vacation, and then the rush to get ready for School.


While our short vacation has not arrived yet, we have tried to make an effort to get to the beach more often, and just enjoy time together as a family.  With my husband's long work hours, being scheduled around my 9-5 work schedule, that time is precious and far in between.  So we have formed a routine for Friday evenings, dinner at a local pizza place and then dessert at our new favorite place, Sweet Frog, and then maybe, if time is permitting a walk on the beach.


Another item becoming quite popular in our house, with the kids at least, is a small pool we purchased for them this summer.  FINALLY! After many summers debating whether or not to get one, haggling over how much we want to spend, we finally went with a 6' 15" deep wading pool, and I have to say it's the most popular toy in the house right now!


The other day, I actually was home to be with the kids while they played and of course, I had my camera! So enjoy the moments caught while they were swimming!

An improvised diving board, LOL!!
