Thursday Thirteen!

Sarah from These are the Days has inspired me to do my first Thursday Thirteen post! I couldn't agree with Sarah more.... this will be a great way for us to get to know each other better each Thursday. And, if you are a fellow "Thirteener" go ahead and link to your blog in my comments and we'll come get to know you better too!

So, here are my 13 Favorite Things About Summer:

1. Not having to take 15 minutes to bundle my kids in coats, hats, gloves, and boots just to run out to the store
2. Pedicures.... I'll be honest and say that I really only do them in the summer when i can admire my pretty toes in my flip-flops :-)
3. Being able to only put McKenna in shorts or a onesie so I can see those ADORABLE little chubby legs ALL DAY LONG!
4. Seeing Maddie in a cute little summer dress with flip flops and her hair in pigtails. She is such a little girl now
5. Going to the beach
6. Grilling
7. All fresh fruits, but oooohhh the Cherries! (Had to borrow that one from Sarah - the cherries are addictive!)
8. Sitting out on the back deck
9. Cute shoes
10. Daylight Savings Time
11. Being invited to BBQ's, picnics, and parties. Everyone seems to be just a little more social in the summer.
12. Summer holiday weekends - love Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day
13. Matt and I have summer B-Days!

Ok, let's hear your Thursday Thirteen!
