Summer to dos........


YAY for Summer! Brayden has been out of school for a few weeks now, but I have just started my Summer work schedule....do you think it will feel more like Summer now? It would be nice to be able to play outside.... I think it's going to get sunnier soon though, I won't complain. :) Like I said, my new work schedule starts this week. I'm working T, W and Th, I have 28 clients now! My practice has exploded, which is wonderful, but stressful at the same time. I am adjusting to all the hours I have to put in on top of just the therapy time. Once all of the initial assessments are finished I am hoping things will become more routine for me.....anyway, my list of summer things to do:
1. Have fun at the parks! I want to take the kids to lots of different parks around the city, tons of them have splash pads now, which the kids love! It has been nice so far this year, the kids are alot easier to take to the park. I have only had one mishap, which was last week, where I lost Dani for a few minutes (which seemed like forever). We were at a twins group playdate (just imagine the huge amounts of kids) and I was cleaning up our picnic mess when I looked up and Dani was just gone! I wandered and looked and wandered and looked, then I started circling and panicking. I yelled to a group of moms, "I lost my daughter." One mom asked, "What does she look like? Who is she?" I forgot that no one knew her because when we go to the monthly meetings, no kids are allowed! We found her soon after that, thank goodness. That had my heart pumping, talk about a panic attack, she was just playing cluelessly in a different section of the park. I tell ya, that girl is going to owe me so big!
2. Oregon Coast: YAY! We get to go to the beach! We are going to stay at a house we rented with my parents for a few days at the beach. 'Couve girls, this means I will be in town on Sunday, July 19th. Reserve that day for a girls get together!
3. Riverfront Park: We want to take the kids downtown to go on the rides and feed the ducks.
4. Silverwood: More fun at the theme park with the kids.
5. Six Flags: Kent and I are tossing around the idea of taking a short trip with my brother and sister to LA and hitting some parks down there. Now it will just be a matter of coordinating all of our schedules!
6. Parties: We have had lots of parties lately, with a few more to go. Birthday parties (Ally's and Brayden's), retirement parties (Helen) and baby showers (Leigh).
7. Exercise/dieting: Kent and I have a goal to lose more weight by the time we take our vacation to.....
8. Eastern Caribbean Cruise: Yay us! Kent and I are taking an eight day cruise in September all by ourselves! Thanks for watching the kids Kalin!
9. Work: I have to say, I love what I do and I am very excited for my business to be growing. I think I will treasure my time more with the kids, now that it is a little more limited, maybe I won't be so impatient. (One can always hope and wish)!
YAY for Summer! What's on your list?

Good list Christy Wagener! I like the park idea...I will have to look for some splash pads in the couve. Hopefully I'll see you in July! Oh and congrats on your business...I hope it works out for you this summer with your new schedule.

Congrats on the growing practice! That is so great. And your summer list is a good one. Summer schedules are hard to coordinate, but I think July 19th is still free. See you then!

And what is the deal with all the cruises!?! I am so jealous!
