Looking forward to summer

The weather has been unseasonalbly cold around here, which is nice.  Even though I dread the100 degree days that I know are coming, I am still looking forward to summer.  Macie and Maris are both tired of school.  Ha!  As we get closer to the end of the year, it has been more difficult to get Macie to do her homework.  It is not difficult for her, she just doesn't want to sit and do it.  Tonight after several requests and much whining, she finally grabbed her homework and went behind the tv.  This is a favorite hiding spot for the girls.  She finished her homework in no time flat.  She usually drags it out over the week, because it is due on Friday.   There behind the tv, she did the WHOLE thing in record time, no whining!  Couldn't believe it.  John was even watching tv part of the time she was back there.


We do not have a busy schedule at all compared to most of our friends.  But, summer will bring a much more relaxed time.  I am looking forward to doing all sorts of things with the girls.  Maybe more moments like these:


Thanks Aunt Sandy for the lemonade stand kit.  She made $4.55!!  Macie started mixing it up before I could help her.  She mixed the entire Country Time container into that little pitcher.  Too funny.  Needless to say, it was WAY to strong and I had to dilute it.  Llano may not be too excited about Macie and Maris having more free time.  They never have been too interested in dressing her up.  I don't know what this was all about.  But, it was bound to happen sooner or later.  My poor, sweet Llano.  She is SO OLD.... 13 1/2 years.  The vet says her kidneys are going bad. 

Not sure why I decided to post today.  There have been several "blog worthy" topics I could have talked about.  Hee hee.  I am tempted to do a recap like I did in the fall.  But, I am sleepy and I want to read my new Clean Eating magazine.  My next post could be months away.... but maybe I will get back into it... Maybe not.
