Our Summer has been busy. Trying to fit all of this fun into three very short months seems next to impossible! We've been keeping busy with beach visits, play dates, sleepovers, trips, and believe it or not, just staying at home in our pj's on the rare occasion. I can't believe that our vacation is already half over!
While I have been busy trying to find wonderful ideas for a third grade classroom, Adri has been busy trying to learn how to write her name and learning how to love swimming in a pool. Sam Man has been extremely busy learning an extensive new vocabulary and communicating his needs and wants very effectively as well as learning how to put his face under the water in the lake and pool. Daddy has been taking off on Fridays to spend extra time with us this summer, when we usually go to the beach and enjoy a picnic lunch. Oh yes, and we have finally become a pacifier free house!!! All of them have been completely banished from the house! The kids did pretty good with the transition and we haven't looked back.
Here is our abundance of pictures from the past month. (YES! It has been that long since I last updated our blog! I don't know how time escapes me each night, but before I know it it is always bed time and I haven't gotten around to blogging.)
Beach day! Burying the kids...
Look Mom! I tattooed myself!
