Break out the party hats.

We are officially on summer break! Yes, the boy has a short story to finish up and the major girl has a research project that needs to be completed but for the most part we are taking our summer break now. Yesterday the kids spent the whole day outside. They played in the backyard pool and exhausted themselves. It was beautiful! I did not go out due to a sunburn I recieved when riding horses earlier in the week, so it felt kinda weird to have the whole house to myself with no kids running in and out. I managed to fix them a picnic lunch and brought it to them, but no one came inside for anything the whole day. When they finally straggled in, Daniel to go mow with his Dad and the girls to take baths, they were exhausted. I am not sure anyone said anything to me for the remainder of the day. My house has never been so quiet with all three home, ever. I think they needed the time away from responsibilites as much as I did. It looks to be a good summer, or at least I hope so!
