Oh What Do You Do in the Summertime?

Oh what do you do in the summertime
When all the world is green?
Do you fish in a stream
Or lazily dream
On the banks as the clouds go by?
Is that what you do? No, not I. . . .

Our summer has been far from lazy. . . we've hardly had a chance to even dream about a fish or a bank or a cloud. (Let alone sleep in. . . ) Instead our summer has been occupied with: (in no particular order)
2 weeks of Driver's Ed (Cache)
5 lacrosse games (Chan)
Youth Conference (Cache)
Washing all the windows inside and out (gotta make good use of the boys' need to learn to work :)
Timberline (a week-long leadership scout camp--Caleb)
2 weeks of swim lessons (Chandler)
3 day Porter reunion
Waddoups reunion then to their mission farewell
Eagle project (Caleb)
2 birthdays (Chandler & Cache)
Scout camp (Caleb & Cache)
Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house
Weekend scout camp as a Timberline staff member (Cache)
3 trips to the doctor (Caleb for a wart removal, Cache for a physical, Greta for a 4 mo check)
Cleaning all the dust-collecting decorations on top of my kitchen cupboards
ACT test (Cache)
2 weeks of tennis lessons (Caleb)
1 week without a computer (hard drive crashed)
Cleaning all the kitchen cupboards inside and out
4 baking lessons to kids and their friends
Online class (Cache)
1 week without a microwave (had to wait for my free installer -aka my dad- to be able to come and save my life (living without a microwave is not on my top ten list of fun!)
Scouting (merit badges, cub scout requirements)
Not to mention a gazillion other little things that present themselves to do each day (cleaning up Tessie smears comes to mind). . .

For now the time to lazily dream is not on my itinerary, but life is good. I'm thankful the world is green and my kids are home for the summer. I love it!
