10 Ways To Tell That Summer Has Arrived...

1. My already white child, looks albino with the addition of a thick layer of sunscreen.
2. The constant hummmmm of our ceiling fans rings in my head.
3. The froggy baby pool sitting in our front yard.
4. The potted plants on my front porch.
5. The permanent sunburn on my nose.
6. Late dinners because it stays light for so long that I lose track of time!
7. There is never anything good on TV in the evenings and I don't care because I'd rather not be inside confined to my couch! :)
8. All of the flip flops sitting by the front door.
9. Every single major road in Des Moines is under construction!
10.The addition of beach towels and swim suits in my dirty laundry.
