Not quite a haiku

I remember doing these kinds of poems all of the time in Elementary school. What they're called, I couldn't tell you, but here one is describing what we've been up to lately:

S- Sunshine (finally!), Swimming at Grandma's, Sprinklers in the backyard, Strep throat (poor Jono), So many friends to invite over, Staying up late, Sleeping in,
and, Smiles from Logan U- Uncles (and aunts, cousins, great-grandparents) all in Utah. The kids saw all of the cousins they have all in the same week last week. Good times. Thanks for coming, everybody. Unfortunately, we didn't have the camera with us most of the time we were with them.

M- Mischief, mayhem, mood swings, and missing school (mostly mom).


M- movies. Lots of movies. And meetings. Pack meetings, Den meetings, Planning meetings, weekly meetings, and even taking the 11-year-olds camping. (Taylor, Jef, and Julie are all involved in the scouting program right now.)

E- Eating. Judging by how much food I've had to purchase lately to fill our fridge and pantry, it is the cure for boredom on a hot summer day. Also, this little guy likes it too. He's almost doubled his weight since birth...

R- Relaxing, recreation, rolling down the hill at the park.
Reading. After being convinced by the kids that they would like to do the summer reading program at the library, I've dragged them to the library every monday so that they can run away (Jono), request leaving after 1 minutes (Taylor), refuse to get out of the car and go in (Hannah), and really enjoy it (Jane).
Rest. Or lack thereof. Realizing that the summer's already a third over, so wanting to enjoy it while it lasts.
