We are well into June, and officially it really is Summer. The kids are already planning activities for the Fourth of July, and I’m planning out the menu. We haven’t been up to too much, but here are a few more photos of how we are spending the Summer break.

I’ve been picking the wild Chamomile that has been popping up in the yard. The daisy-like flowers are so pretty in the kitchen window.

We’ve been meeting up with Thade’s best buddy for a few play-dates this Summer. It has kept the kids busy, and it is a lot of fun.

The kids and I took a road trip to Carthage.They have been asking when we’ll be going back.

The extra daylight is pretty, but the kiddos want to stay up way too late.

Speaking of staying up late, Agnes hasn’t been sleeping again…

She has also become quite the climber… She is keeping me on my toes these days.

The little pup has been busy guarding the back-yard.

The kitty has become my early morning wake-up call. He is much cuter than an alarm clock.

I haven’t made it too far on my Summer reading list… Currently I’m reading The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest.

The kiddos are getting a bit stir-crazy, but it has been a wonderful Summer, so far.
