Dog Days of Summer

The dog days of summer are upon us. This generally means above 100 degree temperatures (in the shade), giant cracks in the yard, filling up the stock tank each day and bored children. The kids aren't the only ones that are bored. I, for reasons I can't pinpoint, can't seem to get motivated to do much of anything. Keeping the kids happy and occupied takes up my entire day. This is all fine because you know what? They are going back to school in 28 days! They as in both children! I will have two children in school in less than a month! I'm kind of excited about this new development (if you couldn't tell). I haven't had the house to myself for over eight years. It's going to be strange, I admit....but I think I'm going to be ok with it.

For now I have 28 days to keep these little people entertained. Oh and adding a sprinkler to a trampoline has proved to be an ingenious combination.
