Good bye Spring 2012

In our home we have been counting down the days until June 20, 2012...the official first day of Summer in the United States. 

What I love about welcoming Summer and dismissing Spring are in this picture:

-squirt guns

-summer night gowns

-new magazines with summer party ideas

-plenty of water bottles to stay hydrated

-sidewalk chalk

-bird feeders

-new nail polish and sandals...the tootsies are coming out

-scooters and bike rides

Happy Summer from our home to yours!
