Lisa... The Entertianer!

Ahhh... So far this summer has been amazing. We have had the luxury to get to spend some really great family time together. Deane has weekends off for the the first summer ever and has been able to enjoy a lot with us. Having him home is a huge relief to me. Dealing with two growing men can trying. But this year i have found a loop hole. My goal is to keep them busy, so busy that they forget to fight/thrash/destroy. They both have gotten so big that the plain old hang around the house all day thing just doesn't work, and for my boys boredom equals trouble! So for the months of july and august i dub myself "Lisa the entertainer"! I am making this summer great! I awake in the morning with plans in my head and things to get done. It takes some planning to be a great entertainer.

There is the comedic aspect. Yesterday I had the masses rolling laughing. Simply by calling my dear sweet dog Dizzy " My pretty precious poopy patty" In an English accent of course. This is what it has come to, jokes about poo? With two soon to be preteen boys, Yes.

Then we have the professional chef detail. I have givin my children the run of the kitchen (boundary's are in place) I am letting them shop for themselves, pick out what they want to eat and make it. With any needed safety assistance of course. They are really enjoying the creativity part of it, and the power of salt. haha

Sometimes a referee can be needed. With any brothers there will always be scuffles. Well more along the lines of " I'm going to argue every little thing that comes out of your mouth" type things than scuffles. But they are pretty good about not holding grudges.

Party mom is rocking the block. Ok maybe not the block, but the back yard for sure. I'm always around quick to provide them with good tunes and endless otter pops. It's how i roll. Me and i think the pool helps. We found and quickly purchased an amazing mini pool. Seriously it is the cutest thing ever, and it keeps the boys busy for hours on end. It's my lil blue life saver!

After hours hostess. Summer is prime time for late nights. I am a natural born insomniac. So i enjoy having the company after my very sleepy hubby dozes off. Cylis my oldest is my late owl, we spend hours watching AFV reruns, covering our mouths to laugh quietly. It will be one of my teary old lady memory's someday :)

So to sum it all up this summer has been a hoot, despite a bad hair cut, mosquitoes bites on my feet, and the occasional over stimulated, over sugared, all out over summered kids. I love my life and the people in it. Much love and a great tan ~Lisa
