summertime bliss

ooooo ooooo.

So, my blog has probably been a little on the boring side lately, but I gotta say—there’s just not that much crazy stuff to write about. We’re either at the beach or the lake, or showering all the sand off from the beach or the lake. Or we’re eating ice cream. Or wishing that I brought more food with us on our outings than just cherries to snack on because children eat three times their normal intake when they are at the beach. Or I’m vacuuming the floor because of all the sand. Or we could be learning about monkeys from a DVD. Oooo oooo. Or you might find us swinging or pulling weeds. Mostly if we’re at home I try to keep the fighting children to a minimum…and the jumping on the beds and couches…and the whining, too. But if it’s a good day, we’re mostly happy and content in our little lives of summertime bliss.

Things of note:
~hmmmm, I’m thinking, hold on….
~oooo, I read Fairies of Dreamdark: Blackbringer by Laini Taylor. Great read, although it is a book for children, MY particular children are a little on the fraidy-cat side, so I just enjoyed every word all on my own. Go out and get a copy—a very fun summer read.
~now that I have admitted that fantasy books may be enjoyable to read after all, I have just started Harry Potter—the first one. At least by the time I get to #7, I won’t have to wait.
~I haven’t mentioned Jake because I never see the dude. If his councilors don’t get back from vacation soon and he doesn’t do a good deal of delegating I may just have to…complain some more or something.
~seriously. I’m having a hard time thinking of noteworthy things that are appropriate to share with the blogiverse, so I’m just gonna go and pick some blueberries from the backyard. (see? Summertime bliss.)
