Half the summer; all the fun

With summer half over, I think it's time to start having some fun! We are planning some family time in August-- so we look forward to that. Next week is a trip to KY for some cousin bonding for my kids. We still have a Cubs game to go to, annual camping trip to fit in--once the heat wave leaves, and a trip to the local water park. Eric has college for kids, while Joel is busy showing off for the neighbor girls! Both boys (&Dad too) received their Tae Kwon Do BLACKBELTS'!!!!!! in June. Eric is going for the 2nd time this summer to get X-rays. That blasted trampoline and scooter! I started the summer with a broken toe-that blasted trampoline again! We have had two garage sales already...Scott has been busy training a sales rep to service his Michigan accounts with the hopes of traveling more close to home-thank you God! Laura says more and more things to make us all laugh everyday. Lately, besides singing her version of the "ABC's", she sings the opening line to the song Clementine: "oh my darlin', o me darlin, o me darlin- Laura Gwace"!!!! So so so cute! She recently enjoyed getting her toenails painted for the first time, and everyday wakes up....looks at her toes, and says "Laura toes still pritty!" I love what each of my children bring to my life! Scott had been building/painting/preparing a classroom for the kids as we will start homeschooling in September. I have been reading like crazy this summer and preparing to be teacher-mom! We are all actually looking forward to our new adventure together. As fast as June and July have gone, I know Fall will be here faster than I can ready myself for it. You better believe the next 6 weeks are gonna be packed full of fun at the Morgan house! Hope your remaining summer days are funtimes too!
