I Love The Summer

Now that the snot is all gone. I am having a blast with the boys on these long summer days. In fact I am sitting in the shade watching the boys and two of their friends playing baseball in the front yard. The breeze is blowing and the sun is shining. I have a tall glass of sweet tea and my flip flops on. It really doesn't get much better than this. We have been super busy as usual. We took a trip to the brookfield zoo last Tuesday. It was so much fun. We rode into work with Donte, had breakfast with him and then headed to the zoo. The boys and I had an absolute blast. We saw so much and they even got to pet sting rays and sharks. I got some great pics of them. It still amazes me just how fast they grow. At least the zoo is still fun for them....I hope that they never out grow it.
Fathers Day weekend was great. The boys actually had some Dad time on Friday night. I went out with a girlfriend and watched SATC again and then we headed off to a small little bar where there was lots of singing and some good laughs. Saturday morning we got up early and went to the boys soccer games. Their games were at the same times so Donte went to Dannies and I went to Donnies. Dannie played well but his team lost but there was a trophy at the end for him to soothe his little bruised ego. Donnie actually played awesome. His team won by 7 and he made a goal. He also received player of the week on top of the trophy so he was beaming from ear to ear. From there we headed to the movies. We saw the Hulk and I have to admit that it was really good. To end the day we came home and grilled steaks. What a great Sat. I wish that they could all be so relaxing. Sunday morning we woke Donte with his presents and got ready for the day. I had made reservations at Zeds. A Brazilian steak house.....yummmmmmmy. We ate to our hearts content and then came home and crashed. It was a great relaxing day filled with some great family time.
Yesterday we headed to the Y to swim. I was totally exhausted after we came back. Swimming takes so much out of you. I swear I felt like I ran a marathon. This morning I woke up and worked out. It had been a week or so since I had done so, so I had to push myself a little bit harder but boy was it worth it. I feel GREAT. We ran to my friends store to get a couple of webkinz. She has a special going on where the kids can get a dollar off for every A the receive. They made out like bandits and I got some good chatting time in. That brings me to know....sitting in the front relaxing and feeling ever so grateful that I am living the life I am.
