The girls and I are REALLY enjoying the crazy, lazy days of Summer! We get to sleep in, (one of Cooper's favorite things). We get to dance when we want upstairs. We get to sew to our hearts content. We made pasta salad, cake, and brownies all in one day! We get to drive the air conditioned car!!! That's a biggy with the girls. Dad takes the van to work early, so it isn't so hot, and parks in the covered parking all day so it isn't too bad when he comes home. He got the air conditioner in the van serviced, so now it works better anyway. We can have friends over to dance and "hang out". Cooper gets to go to girl's camp next week. Cymbre and I are having "sewing camp" at home next week. She has chosen a dress pattern she wants to make....a bit more difficult that baby blankets and burpie rags. Cooper just made four pairs of shorts to go to camp. She chose some crazy materials from my cupboards, and has done a terrific job. Her biggest problem is when she puts the elastic in the waistband, she always gets it turned. It happens to all of us, but now she makes me do the elastic before she sews it in. I finally figured out why Cymbre's sewing machine kept jamming all the time. Now she is sewing miles of thread! I think I finally got two with the sewing bug! Maybe some day they will make their own costumes.....in the distant future! We can clean out the drawers and get rid of all the too little clothes. Dad's big on getting rid of everything we have outgrown. We can watch all our favorite Disney shows, and then watch them again! It seems our TV mostly watches Disney...I think there must be something wrong with it. Cymbre can catch up the ironing....she loves to do it. Something's wrong with this situation! Cooper can reread Harry Potter for the 20th time....and watch her movies. The magnolia tree in the backyard has all it's beautiful flowers, the hybiscus is in full bloom in the front yard, and the petunias are dead because it's just too hot! We can go to Sonic for ice cream during Happy Hour, and Mom gets her cherry limeade for half price! We get to get teeth cleaned in the mornings instead of after school, and see the allergist, and get our eyes checked, and make sure our shots are up to date. We get to dodge the June Bugs by the back door....still better than fighting the Love Bugs! We can have as many JAMMIE DAYS as we want! We can call Papa when we want during the day. We get a break before dance starts up again for summer classes. We get to eat Cymbre's tomatoes, and strawberries. We get to see Ms. Andee again for summer dance classes....that's a very good thing. We can go to the movies at the matinee times and prices....Dad likes that. The best part, we get to just RELAX!!!! The girls don't get that much time to just do that during the school year.
Well, since I am still in my jammies, and the bed needs making, and we want to go to a fabric store that is closing, I better get going.
Have a great day, and do something unexpectedly kind for someone today. We love you bunches and bunches.
Mom
