today is officially the first day of summer.  at least that's what my calendar says.  we've been in summer mode for a week.  this is life around here.

• we're sleeping in til 8.  feels so nice.
• i hope to get up earlier and hit the gym before everyone else gets up.
• i missed the csa delivery this week.  but will start it next week.  looking forward to some yummy, fresh produce.
• the exterior of our house is painted and looks great.  such a nice change for us.
• we are needing to work on the landscaping, front and back.  
• i am putting together a scrapbook on the road for our trip to san luis obispo next month.  
• i am finishing the one from palm springs.
• we are hoping to make jam with grandma. strawberry, peach, any kind will do.
• wanting to get this popsicle maker for the kids, ok,  i'm the impatient one.
• we spent $5.50 at the ice cream truck for three treats. what happened  to .50 popsicles?
• that popsicle maker is starting to sound like a bargain.
• the kids have appointments with the eye doctor and dentist next week. 
• they could also use a haircut.
• i am thinking of recipes for the alaskan salmon that will soon be in my freezer.
• i am hearing and seeing many legos being built.
• i am working on favors, grocery lists, and little details for the shower this weekend.
• we have 2 graduations this week and 2 kids' birthday parties this weekend, along with my sister's shower.  
• i could use a closet full of gifts.
• it feels calm and easy going here.
• we know that will change in the next few weeks when we start swim team, getting ready for the weddings, and start on summer reading and workbooks for school.
• life is good.

happy first day of summer!
