Dobbs Family Blog: Lazy Summer Mornings

I had to tell Keeg today that when we go on our trip, he could not sleep until 10 a.m. and keep his pj's on until lunch. He wanted to know why, and I said because we might actually be doing something! We get so lazy during our time off during the summer. Coley and I tend to stay up until at least midnight, and Serena even sleeps until 8 or later. When I get up with Serena, we like to have a morning cup of coffee. She has started getting her own little cup with lots of chocolate creamer.

We both like our coffee. I think back to Guy and Debbie, and they always had a pot of coffee on-now I understand why! Of course, I like mine so sweet with lots of creamer-so does Serena!

The kids have probably been watching way too much morning tv, but that will all change in a couple of weeks when we hit the road. At least they are doing it together without arguing some of the time.

Notice they both still have on their new pajamas, and Serena decided she needed her tennis shoes on as well.

There were several great photo ops yesterday, but I did not have my camera with me. The first one was when we went out to grandparents to fix the vents on the trailer that had gotten broken during an earlier hail storm. It rained a couple of inches yesterday morning, and before I knew it the kids were playing in a giant mud/water puddle. They eventually shed all of their clothes and had a great time splashing around. I am sure our neighbors were wondering why we were bringing our children home naked! The other was was last night. The kids walked around the yard holding hands just having the best time. It has been nice to watch them together. Serena has learned so much from Keegan. He can tell you how to spell words by listening to the sounds of the letters. Serena can put together any puzzle, identify all of her letters, and now she is counting. I love catching her "reading" a book to herself. They both remember anything you read or tell them.
