Fairly simple summer day

I love the above picture of Max from today. It just looks like summer to me. A little boy riding, as fast as he can, on his bike, that he loves! (thanks Joe and Casey). I think it may be time to take the training wheels off. JJ first rode a 2-wheel bike around this age, so did Arianna. We did have to run around a bit, but we also did some summertime things like eat lunch in the yard and swim with friends. Yes, our pool is full of children again. They are so happy! Summary of today; 1) kids fed and dressed 2) trip to Boy Scout store 3) Take new boy scout pants to MCRD for hemming that MUST be done by tomorrow (they said yes) 4)replace missing sunglasses, while at MCRD. I couldn’t believe how much my eyes were hurting without sunglasses. 5)Drive through Chik Fil-A to claim free lunch (awesome deal that I ran across last week). 6) Go home, set up kids at their picnic table to eat. 7) Play in pool with friends 8)PAPERWORK! There are so many loose ends for Kateri and JJ leaving for school. Somedays, I can’t even think straight about what I need to find and where to send it. 9) Get ready for soccer and errands 10) Socceer 11) Errands 12) Picking various kids up from different places.
Ok, wait a minute! The title of this blog is a fairly simple summer day. I’m not sure why I felt that it was simple! Reading this list makes me think it was a CRAZY summer day. I guess because we did get to enjoy being at home (even for a little while), makes me feel better. Or maybe it’s just the great picture of Max riding his bike during Tristan’s soccer practice. Whatever! I’m having one of those reality moments, where it grabs me by the head and makes me look it in the eyes. I swear I’m in la la land most of the time. Oh well, it works! Good night~
