A Summer Day

My summer mornings start with the entire family getting ready around 7AM because they have various responsibilities at our church's "Vacation Bible School." Shelby is attending. Kelsey is a teacher's assistant and Tracy is preserving the moments in pictures. Shelby walks Lloyd (Buford is past the age where taking walks is a good thing) and stretches in her ballet studio. Kelsey takes long showers and has a new CD that has one song on "repeat" and Tracy watches shows like Good Morning America.

After V.B.S., I'm sure that the Sims will be high on the agenda. I can see why this game is so addicting for pre-teens...yesterday, Kelsey's characters were too sleepy because a baby had been born that they would fall over, there was some worry about a social worker taking away a child and one character was making such poor grades that there was a threat of military school amidst the SimFamily.

There's lots of reading and lounging and a slow pace to our days. I know it's always this way once I get past the Mexico mission trip (where, mentally, my summer begins) but summer really does have a different mindset than when school is in session.
