It wouldn’t be hard to beat last summer. Summer of 2010, my dad’s health suddenly went off a cliff and we lost him on August 2nd.
I still bawl my head off when I hear “If Ever I Should Leave You” or “Try to Remember the Times of September” — a song my dad sang during my childhood if I was alone in the car. I am sure I always will.
But this has been a sweet summer. I didn’t oversubscribe Vivien in camps. Rex is a great playmate for her so I don’t have to knock myself out driving around for playdates. My dad would have loved our new backyard. It was so much fun to finally be settled. That was our summer vacation. That we could stay put.
I was still churning out some Cool Mom vids, but I did take note that traffic is DOWN in the summer. Moms who want a chuckle don’t have the same downtime to come to Cool Mom and check out my latest witty bit from my kitchen.
So, I put together a little “Best of Cool Mom: Summer 2011″. Some of the better vids that maybe you missed while you were slip ‘n sliding with your kids.
Hope you enjoy.
baaahahaha! “you didn’t take anything, did ya?” love the weber.
and i love that barak was in your living room.
i’ll watch the rest after i get some sleep! so nice to catch up!
can’t wait to just relax and watch this.
I LOVED SEEING YOU SO MUCH.
OMG, how’d I miss all this.. oh, yes, my golden tan
This video had me crying! My town stopped recycling batteries and I can’t throw them in the garbage, so I too have this enormous bag of batteries that I continue to collect! One day, I will go on the internet and find a neighboring town that recycles them, maybe I will do that now. Oh, Eau de Rex! Maybe I will watch that first…
