Finally.

     

         I am saying "Good-bye" to spring and "Hello" to summer. The nights of firefly catching, star-gazing, s'mores eating, and sleepovers without sleeping have arrived. I am ready for the afternoons of picnics, bubble blowing, craft making, swim suit wearing, watermelon eating, and sometimes finding myself bored. I've spent pretty much the past month preparing, planning and waiting for summer. I think this is the first time that I have actually planned for summer, I am usually not much of a planner...for anything.

       A few of the things on my summer list: 

-blow glowing bubbles at night{break a glow stick, pour the contents into bubbles, and you have glowing bubbles!}

-morning picnic in the woods

-have a camp out

- craft night

- make cereal necklaces

-movie night

-dance party

-use my green screen{did I mention I got a really nice green screen from someone?} 

-make homemade popsicles  
- make cotton candy cupcakes

-stargazing picnic

- capture fireflies in a jar

-buy a goldfish
-go on a road trip

- start a memory book

-sleep in a blanket tent

-have a bonfire

-pull an all-nighter

-sleep on the trampoline

       

     Because I haven't written in over two weeks, here are some pictures from lately...

 rainy days.

such a cute truck. :) 

    My first day of summer break already feels oh-so-summer-ish ;). My dear friend and I decided to try to make homemade ice cream. The instructions said that it only needed to be in the ice cream maker for eighteen minutes. It totally lied. It was in the ice cream maker for an hour, and still failed to thicken. None the less, we still slurped it down. 


    Now to end this oh-so-summer-ish day in a summer way{I didn't even try to rhyme there}, I shall go eat barbecue and sip lemonade on the deck, while listening to the bonfire crackle, all while trying not to get attacked by our always hungry cats. 

-Favorite bible verse as of lately- 

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also"

-Matthew 6:21 

What are your plans for the summer?
