The smell of sweat, sunscreen, sticky ice cream cones and fresh cut grass. Summer arrived in Indiana this weekend. We mowed our grass for the first time, ate ice cream cones on the front porch swing and even flew a kite. Ahhh....I love this time of year. Things I do forget from summer to summer....(1) how much the kids HATE putting on sunscreen; (2) how dirty the girls get daily; (3) how dirty the bathtub gets after bathing the girls each night (which leads to more cleaning of the tub - ughh); (4) how good a cold beer tastes after working in the yard all day and (5) how much I sweat now that I am in my mid-30's. I never used to sweat. We had such a great weekend just playing around the house and getting dirty. The girls have been diligently working on their "fairy garden" - pictures and blog of that to come, which will be written by Carlie. She has been bugging me about getting into this blogging thing, and I think this would be a great opportunity. Hope everybody enjoyed their weekends as much as we did ours. Time to shower and pour myself a glass of wine and sit on my front porch swing with my best friend and enjoy our blessings.

Summer IS so much fun...we had a very similar weekend and loved every minute of it!
What a fun weekend! We got so much done outside this weekend. It was good to see everyone outside working and enjoying themselves. I can't wait to see pictures and read about the fairy garden!
