Day 1. 6/10/2010
Summer Vacation is going quite well.
Splendid, in fact.
It’s just I haven’t the slightest idea what to do about my son’s 5′oclock shadow. I’ll figure it out tomorrow.
Day 2. 06/11/10
Summer Vacation is smokin’…
and delicious.
Day 3. 06/12/2010
I love summer.
It’s what I do best.

Cheers.
Day 7. 06/16/2010
The feedings are going well with the zoo animals.
The key is to feed them before they know they are hungry.
Day 8. 06/17/2010
Day 9. 06/18/2010
I guess it was only a matter of time. 8 days to be exact.
And the boys had to go and shed their life vests. Now I can’t twitter pool-side. I actually have to PAY ATTENTION. And eat tums.
Day 10. 06/19/2010
I have a pool toy addiction.
But I payed cash for that pool toy. Not the pool boy. I own him out right. All mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.
Mine.
Just so we’re clear.
Day 11. 06/20/2010
Deep sea diving and bottom of the ocean treasure hunting lesson #1.
A pirate loves his booty.
Day 12. 06/21/2010

Momma just can’t stand it when you act like a big girl. But you sure do look happy.
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Day 13. 6/22/2010
This came for me today.
It’s an envelope. With a letter inside. I’ll open it later. It can wait.
Day 14. 06/23/2010
Happy Birthday to you. #39.
You look like a monkey and you smell like one too. Not really. I just like to sing that song.
I also love my really cheap, sparkly, cheerful Birthday banner. I plan on using it forever.
Day 15. 06/24/2010
Kayla—our first born– gets her drivers license. Her first official drive by herself. Off she goes to work.
Please pass the tums. And the oxygen tank. A pacifier might help, too.
Day 16. 06/25/2010
I scream…you scream…we all scream for Paaaaa-peeeeee.
We love when Pappy visits. (And not just because he cuts the grass so well! But boy does he cut the grass so well!!)
Day 17. 06/26/2010
A day in the tanks. WHO’S BIG IDEAR was this anyway? Huh?
Baltimore’s National Aquarium.
Day 18. 06/27/2010

Day 22. 07/01/2010
I love summer. Just thought I would throw that in…in case you were wondering.
Cautious?
Or a hoarder? You decide. I already know the answer—ya know,’cause I’m her mom and all.
Day 23. 07/02/2010
Don’t judge me. Every one has different taste when it comes to hobbies.
Mine happens to be very environmentally conscious sheep launching. Keep your snickering to yourself.
Day 24. 07/03/2010
I really wish she would stop being so cute.
It can be downright annoying sometimes. Not really, but I like to pretend that I am not wrapped around her finger.
Ya know, in between launching sheep.
Day 25. 07/04/2010

This happened today.
First Peyton.
Then Evan.
Good-bye life jackets. Hello tums.
Day 28. 07/07/2010
Meanwhile…Ella can’t decide.
Remain the floating diva? Or keep up with the boys and learn to swim? She’s conflicted. It’s understandable.
Day 29. 07/08/2010
Iced-coffee and dark chocolate; our life sustaining food groups.

Day 33. 07/13/2010
