Truly LAZY days of summer

My main purpose of setting up this blog was for all of our family to see what we were up to and to also serve as sort of a digital scrapbook where the boys can go back and see what we did during any certain part of the year.

So I hit a road block though when you truly have nothing going on in your life and you truly are living out the lazy days of summer. What do you blog about? What pics do you put up?

So instead of posting nothing, I am posting something about doing nothing. :) I sat here and realized that the boys dont care if I am cramming their days full of Six Flags and other exciting outtings. Sure they would love to go, but they are just as happy if we are doing things at home that are fun.

The days here are just to hot with the temperature crawling near 100... it's too hot for bike rides, or fun outings that dont involve lots of water and bathing suits. So we play games inside, video games, board games, coloring books, playdough. There is a certain simplicity to our day when its spent inside with just the 3 of us when Alan is at work. The boys do a lot more imaginative things. They become power rangers, or pretend that they are running car shops. My favorite is when they play like they are the dad and son. So cute to hear them reliving their own life.
By the time that Aln gets home its usually cooling off a little so we head outside to the trampoline or swing set. They love to play tball with daddy or a little soccer. They also love to play with their cars and such on the deck.

This is simple fun....fun times with the kids and hopefully times that they will remember too...
