Instead of Blogging...

We have been all kinds of busy this summer. My plan of daily chores, schoolwork and play worked out quite well.

The boys did their fair share of things like this:

(Of course, they felt like they had waaaay too many chores.)

We did a ton of this:

(BB#1 getting some tutoring help with his spelling from my mom.)

Spent some time here:

(And read almost every night in bed.)

But we also did this just about every evening:

Enjoyed way too much of this:

(Yuuummmm, Sonic diet-Coke with extra ice and lemons...)

Did this a couple days a week:

(Swim lessons with a way fun college student.)

And even fit this in more than once:

Add in our trip to Florida, Grandparents coming from Utah, a few movies, and plenty of playdates, and we really had a great summer. Just enough structure to keep us all sane balanced with a good amount of play.
