If you know me at all, I know you can figure out what popped into my head when I read this one.

Awesome things to use to survive the Summer! I think using them one at a time, in a pattern, will make this Summer most interesting! Except the waterboarding. Not so much a fan of water sports. And the Vodka - well, that can be used alongside my experiment.
Yes, good vodka should never be forgotten for it's medicinal purposes. Lord knows when summer begins I'm all like yay no more early hours (who was I kidding?) homework, etc...I will heartily welcome these school things once more cause then I can actually be productive on the household chores!

I am with Minivan - pass the vino.
I took my kids blueberry picking last week and then we came home and made blueberry vodka with our fruit. My 4 year old enjoyed pouring the blueberries into the jars with the canning funnel. I say that's an educational field trip/cooking class! And mommy needs a drink, ya know.
OMG Heidi, I'm totally going to do that!!
