As much as I don't want to admit it...Summer is winding down. (Nooooooooo!!!!!)
So, I need to make my Top 5 Summer list before the craziness of the school year starts.

I try really hard during the summer NOT to rush anywhere!
I'm not always successful, but during the school year, we always seem to be on the go.
There never seems to be any down time. During the summer, I try to take "mental snapshots" of those simple moments that are all too rare.

#4 Trips
We don't go on many trips, but summer is definitely a good time to go somewhere. Whether it's a camping trip or a trip to Monterey, it's so nice to go in the summer when we don't have to worry about getting back home with enough time to do all that goes on with getting ready for the work/school week. You know what I mean...laundry, grocery shopping, etc. Ugh!
I love being able to go somewhere and not have to worry about washing that "vacation" laundry till Wednesday or Thursday (heck...who am I kidding? Vaca laundry doesn't get washed until late August! Am I right?
You know I am!)
#3 Thinking/Planning for school
I know this sounds weird, but I enjoy thinking about school during the summer.
I like to spent time surfing Twitter, Pinterest and in general looking around for ideas and inspiration. Without the time crunch of the school year, summer is a nice time to play and look at stuff for my classroom.
#2 Going out to breakfast
I LOVE eating breakfast in a restaurant. Anytime is good for me, but again, I think it's the "no rush" thing. Summer just screams "Go out to breakfast!" to me.
Breakfast is my favorite meal. Waffles. Pancakes. Fresh fruit. BACON! and yes, you guessed it...Coffee!
Everyone can order what they want and I don't have to clean the mess!

#1 Coffee
I know...I've made 2 Top 5 lists and coffee has made both lists!
Well, what can I say?
On my Summer list, coffee represents that moment in the morning when my boys are still asleep and
Good Morning America is on the TV, and I can savor my cup of coffee and really enjoy the "quiet-ness" of the morning.
