Here is why....August is one of my favorite months!. Here is why...<br />1. My BDay falls on 8/27, I spent the whole month looking forward to that day and so August is a little magical to me. <br />2. Football starts in August and for a short period ESPN is all about football and baseball with no basketball getting in the way.<br />3. Utah Sweet Corn and Tomatoes - Let's eat it every night... to heck with the kids!<br />4. Thunderstorms! I absolutely love them - to heck with those wimpy von Trapp kids- I say bring it on! August brings the best storms of the year.<br />5. Back to school - I love the commercial with the dad taking the kids to buy school supplies as he dances in the aisles to "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." But truthfully, I prefer the kids to be home (Homework is even a bigger drag as a parent, plus our school gives so much).<br /><br />August Rules!Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11874777739659758000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003421843194196387.post-9887236894438930582010-08-02T07:36:49.780-07:002010-08-02T07:36:49.780-07:00I've been doing lots of cold pasta salads, or ...I've been doing lots of cold pasta salads, or chicken salads this summer. It's been so great even though my kids take one bite and then stop, but too bad for them. I can make them earlier and they are nice and cool by dinner time. I usually hate August too, which is why I planned too many trips this summer, oh well, I'm having fun even if no one else is. As for school supplies, there are some items I wish the teachers would give us an idea where to find them b/c I certainly have no clue. If it's not at WalMart, we don't get it.Joshua Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18344851532475954075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003421843194196387.post-72957258603842902972010-08-01T22:46:01.376-07:002010-08-01T22:46:01.376-07:00I had the SAME feeling when I flipped the calendar...I had the SAME feeling when I flipped the calendar to August... I had such great plans and ideas to make this summer better than the last 2 (thanks to pregnancy and new baby), but that list has now been completed. I have no more good ideas, just kids who want to watch hours and hours of Phineas and Ferb and Wipeout...Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922991528393983598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003421843194196387.post-16115431303386095042010-08-01T20:56:29.133-07:002010-08-01T20:56:29.133-07:00Dinner is the bain of my existence. Seriously, no...Dinner is the bain of my existence. Seriously, no one should be expected to cook in the summer. I made your white trash chicken and it was delicious.<br /><br />We do a lot of grilled cheese and tomato soup and breakfast for dinner, etc. I love picking up the rotisserie chickens at Costco and my kids eat that with ketchup--so easy.<br /><br />I haven't even ventured to Walmart yet for the school supplies. I did shell out a pretty penny for Luke to get the star wars backpack from PBK. Good luck on the pink camo one for cute Emi!brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15114483651100368830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003421843194196387.post-82485973947812892652010-08-01T20:53:05.664-07:002010-08-01T20:53:05.664-07:00Yah, not ready for summer to be over.

Hmmmmm, not going to happen, but on the bright side 3 of our kids will be in school a couple mornings a week. The end of summer always makes me think I am seriously lacking in the "fun mom" department.Monikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764869105812638359noreply@blogger.com
