C-hammer,

An inground pool…fun. My grandparents had a pool and we just about lived in it during the summer.

Lilia,

That’s hilarious! I love it. Definitely not too gross. But I thought people in Germany don’t shave…

Does it get very warm there in the summer?

Cristy,

S’mores? I want to come to your house!

I also love the smell of sunscreen, so sometimes I wear it even though I know I’m not going in the sun… it just smells like summer and makes me happy. </p> <p> <img src="http://thesecretlifeofkat.com/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;" /> </p> <p> ‘Lil </p> Thanks Kat!!!  I love seeing the girls!!!  Signs of summer at my house are that I shave my legs… is that too gross to post here?  (I’m really living the single life here in Germany, aren’t I?)

We dust off and bring out all the outside toys (bubbles, chalk, play golf, scooters, hoola hoops, balls) We actually did this a few weeks ago. I love giving the kids the option to play outside. BUT what I think breaks in the summer, is a good barbecue, lighting up the grill and eating outside on our picnic table makes it official. <br /> We are also shopping today for a few more “summer things” which happens to be one of my favorite kinds of shopping-other than Christmas shopping. </p> We’ve already cleaned up the backyard, made it family friendly again.
