Well I realized today, that the summer is a few days short of being halfway through. Well maybe not technically but to me and any school age child's mom...it is. I have done a few good outings, Maplewood Farm, Confederation Park twice, The Quay, and a summer party. Also numerous outings to people's houses and malls. I still have to tackle a beach trip (next week) and some more park explorations for sure! I want to venture down to the miniature trains in Stanley Park and the Aquarium. A playland trip is in order, and SFU has nice trails and a pretty view AND a park. So my calendar is definitely filling up. This week has been nice and slow but it's about to pick up! A visit from Tanya followed by 2 day trips. I am one kid short this week and next (Allura's in day camp) you might say it's easier without her? well it is in some ways, quieter that's for sure!
I have also been tackling some organizing. I have cleaned out all my cupboard and drawers, bought some new furniture (dresser for the boys, coffee table) and started cleaning out the garage. It's work in progress but I do my best:). I am a very clean person but we have so much extra stuff to get rid of. I find clothes to be the hardest thing. I organize my kids drawers and my closet every season, and every season I get 5 or so garbage bags out. But that means getting all new clothes and some hand me downs from other (thanks!) and before you know it you have 15 bags of clothes in the garage that need to be sorted/bagged and tagged for either sale or give away depending on stainage (hehe new word). It will take time but will be worth it in the end:)
In other news, it's my birthday soon!! I am really excited. I love birthdays!! and I am getting my first tattoo so that makes it even more lovable! as usual it falls on the long weekend, Monday. But for those who are going to be around I may be having a small adult party. The main feature will be me probably drinking a little, and some good food of some sort. Fun?
One last thing...I do want to add that I LOVE the Summer!! I really do...

Half Full? I'd say overflowing! Things sound great! You've got an excellent outlook. Happy summer and (in advance) hapy birthday! See you tomorrow, girl!
