Random Facts about Summer 2009 with the Caivano's

Since tomorrow is Labor Day and that marks the end of summer. I thought I would make a little list of events that happened over the summer.

1. The 1st week of summer vacation, I slept and napped so much it was embarrassing.
2. I have cooked more meals in the past 3 months than I think I have in the past 2 two years. this leads to me washing dishes about 5-6 times a week, in the past I only did this about 2 times a week.
3. Bobby found ANOTHER hobby to add to his list, night fishing= this lead to Bobby learning how to fry fish.
4. Andrew and I took a spontaneous road trip to Austin to see Dana. I discovered P. Terrys is the best and I can't wait to go back
5. Andrew slept in Aunt Dana's closet. (CPS don't worry it was the size of her old apartment in D.C.)
6. Bobby and I saw the movie "Up" in the theatre. It was our first time to go to the movie theatre in over a year. Hey redbox, pj pants, ice cream and our couch make the best date and movie nights.
7. We got new carpet, I love it! It gave our house a newer feel.
8. I fell in love with making baby food.
9. Andrew saves his giggles exclusivly for Bobby and loves to be tossed around and ride on dad's shoulders.
10. I read 2 books this summer, Mom walk by Sally Clarkson and Crazy Love by Francis Chan. I am still deciding on a book to read this fall.
11. I gave Decker a bath for the 1st time since March. Hey, she never got the stinky smell, I guess because she was too busy shedding all over our house all summer.
12. I grew 4 plants from seeds and 2 are still alive.
13. Started to go to workout classes again. Thanks Bobby for my Monday night therapy (step class)
14. We got major work done on our cars. Mine- new transmission, computer and tires. Bobby got a new radiator and we both got new spark plugs thanks to friends and now Bobby gets closer to 15 miles per gallon instead of the 8-10 he was averaging.
15. This was the first summer I swam for a total of 5 min. on the 4th of July. That was it all summer, due to a young baby and the lack of a pool. Don't worry I just got a super cute swim suit for next year and a baby pool both on clearance.
16. So I have no tan at all to carry me into the fall. So maybe that will keep 2 or 3 more wrinkles off my face when I am older.
17. We so videoed Andrew watching a Baby Einstein video. His giggles were so cute. So we now have 10 min. of video of him watching a movie. Sad and weird I know.
18. We ate lots and lots of watermelon and peaches!!!

All in all it was a wonderful relaxing summer. We created many memories and had lots of fun with friends. Maybe next summer we will go on a vacation. We should start planning now
