Wow - tomorrow I am going to take a look at the calendar and count down how many days we have left of vacation.

Yesterday was Day Three of summer vacation, and we had a relaxing family day. Daughter was finally over her illness. We played T-Ball and went for a walk through the trails in High Park.

Last night I tried to introduce the kids to more "super foods" at dinner. I have decided that this summer is going to be about better ourselves. Thus the chore list. Next I cleaned out the kids drawers and got through some of my laundry. Next it is cleaning out the house and getting rid of toys and stuff that we no longer need. I also want to get the kids to eat better, and the summer with its cornucopia of produce seems like the right time.

We talked about good foods, and the kids aren't bad. Yesterday we had guacamole and berries. For dinner last night I made grilled sea bass, mashed sweet potato and sauteed spinach and corn. The kids ate the corn and the bread. Son Two tried to claim that he likes blue berries, but only ate half of one. Apparently, he ate three berries about 6 weeks ago so he thinks that he's good. Son One asked for cherries, but then when he realized that they weren't maraschino explained that he just likes the red ones.
