Announcing the Sammons Summer Fun!

Summer is officially starting at The Cottage. School's out,  CYT Ricmond's Les Misérables (an absolutely amazing experience and a top notch production) just wrapped, and we bid bon voyage to our Mimi who was visiting for the week. I feel like tossing all my papers and books in the air and running Pheobe-style directly to the nearest summer fun! Which, because I have no idea what that is, I'm making my own!

This summer we are living Pinterest-ingly! Like many folks I know, I find Pinterest completely addictive (kind of like Kumihimo jewelry, but without an end). It is full of ideas, solutions, and fixes; recipes, patterns, and DIY instructions; fun activities, fascinating factoids, clever sayings and quotes, and is an endless well of things I never knew I needed to know! -not to mention a complete time sucker-but I contend that there are worse ways to spend the wee hours of a sleepless night!

I really feel like my brain is full of fluff these days. I am hard pressed to come up with ideas or suggestions for fun (let alone purposeful, educational or in any way beneficial) activities, what to make for dinner, or how to make my own natural, organic, reliable deodorant-I find it all quite vexing! While I am hopeful this is just a temporary condition, in the meantime, I've got to keep on keepin' on!

I am not exactly sure how this is going to play out-after all I can't come up with a plan of my own and cannot find a pinterest pin outlining how to live a pinteresting summer-but we'll find a way. The thought is- whatever we do, we'll do it the Pinterest way (or ways)!

In the mean time, youngest son is still trying to figure out how to build a dunk tank and middle son wants everything we do to be a competition-so I must now log on to Pinterest-I'm sure both of these things are addressed there!
