I had to throw the "Vodka" in the title of this post. It's not very often at all that a devout Mormon talks about Vodka. :) And I will talk more of that in a minute.
But first, there are a few things that I have decided I cannot do without during summertime. Here is my list:
A Pool - where else can you send your kids to get some much needed exercise, and to be out of the house for a couple of hours?
Bologna, cheese, and chips - the staples of every lunch at home. Sometimes I'll even have some salami, tomatoes, or ham to put on the bologna sandwiches. Jake thinks sandwiches at home are the best thing in the world because he can have all the extras - mulitiple meats, tomatoes, onions, and lettuce.
And along the food lines, it is also most important to have some sort of freezing/popsicle type of substance. Sometimes it's kool-aid, sometimes it's capri-sun. Either way, we throw it in the freezer and they can eat it outside.
Legos - my kids have drawerfuls and drawerfuls of legos and they LOVE them!!!! Many hours of entertainment (until they fight over certain pieces of course).
A Library - we love the reading program and I love having books on hand for all of us to read. I have read 3 books in the past month. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to read!!!
Mt. Dew - need I say more!!
On other bits of news - the vodka we have been using here at home. E's got an ear infection and it works great for that. :)
Bret is gone till Saturday - I REALLY REALLY REALLY miss him!! But I have to admit that our new kingsize bed is just as fun (or funner) than our queensize bed was without him in it. (evil grin)
Suzi and I have started our long hours of Camp work. Just last night we were up till almost midnight. I feel bad for keeping her so long, but I had fun just being with her. We have such a awesome bond. She's one of the few people I can truly be myself around. Thanks for going Suz - I know you really didn't want to. :) Maybe I'll bake you a cake - one egg or two?!!!

Steph you are so funny. I wouldn't be able to live without a lot of the same things, except I would make it Diet Pepsi not Mt. Dew, but Justin would agree on the Dew. I am excited for your Girls Camp trip. You will have to tell me all about it when you get back.
I know that when I drink vodka my kid's earaches don't hurt me so much either.
I'd have to add "games" to the summer fun. Paige has been kicking my trash at Sequence and Candy Land. But it's been so much fun that I should to have a "game a day" rule.
Sounds like your house is a lot of fun this summer can't wait to get there.
