Summer Bucket List…

The end of our Summer Break is fast approaching.

This past week was packed with all the tasks and adventures that we had not yet fit into the past several months.

My little guy has spent the last several days recovering from what might possibly have been swine flu.

The oldest son wrapped up his summer-long work commitment and began another one as a leasing agent for the next couple of weekends as IU students move into apartments (I’m proud to say that he is the most popular male babysitter in Bloomington.  He couldn’t even take all the jobs he was offered and passed the opportunities along to a couple of his buddies who turned out to be pretty darn good babysitters as well——families with all boys LOVE having boy babysitters and it has been an extremely lucrative opportunity. So moms share that info with your teenage sons who are looking for some extra cash).

And my daughter has spent hours every day at the gym working with a choreographer on her new floor routine for the upcoming competitive season.

I finished this fabulous book…

Worked on finding the perfect image for this swap…

And, spent today with my daughter at a wonderful spiritual retreat that I will share more about in the near future.

Dinner consisted of grilled chicken, sweet oven-baked carrots, homemade macaroni and cheese, and slices of juicy watermelon shared with a full table of family and friends and lots of laughter followed by a road trip to a nearby yogurt store that we had learned about this week where we overindulged in frozen treats as we watched Olympic runners race for the Gold Medal.

It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings...
