enjoying our Summer...

Our Summer has been filled with beach days, time in the pool, waterslides, and camping. We just got back from a 10 day trip and it was fantastic having my husband off of work and lots of family time. We discovered a great little campground with a big sand pit, nearby lake, covered eating areas, TV, and bikes for the kids to borrow - which broke our 12 hour drive into two days. Then we spent a few relaxing nights at my grandmother's hotel-style basement, and then joined all my in-laws at a campground for 5 nights. We usually try out one new campground each Summer, and we camp in a little tent trailer with the littles while the big girls tent right next to us.

Now that the Summer is coming to an end, I'm looking forward to getting back into the routine of school, and the kids are super-excited to be seeing all their friends again. It will also give me a chance to get some uninterrupted time in the office to get ahead on some of my bookkeeping work, and get some sewing done for the kids. Today we packed all the school supplies into their backpacks, so we are officially ready. And yes, I have four kids going this year for the first time! But thankfully, my little man only gets part-time kindergarten so I'll still have a little helper running around some days.
