I don’t even know where to begin. It’s been way too long since I last posted. This summer has been flying by and I feel we haven’t had much downtime to just enjoy it. It’s just going to get crazier in a few weeks as we go on another vacation. I’m tired of trips already, but at the same time I’m trying to take advantage of seeing my family as much as possible before our expected move next summer. The day after we get back from vacation, we have a bunch of family coming into town to go to our local zoo. That should be a fun weekend too! After that, we should be trip free for a few months and I’m looking forward to it.
Wednesday is our morning to be slow at getting out the door since the kids are not in school. We ran errands and Sterling and I had a dress up tea party. I was told I didn’t need to put on a dress but I had to wear her sunglasses. Sterling also had her last night of ballet for the summer. I’m signing her up for the year program at the academy because she loved it so much.
On Thursday the kids have school and then we have 45 minutes of soccer in the evening. It’s been really hot here, high 90s, and so soccer was a hot one. Nick stayed home because he can’t bear the heat. There were only 4 teammates that showed up for this practice/game so they played the whole time and took water breaks. A lot. Sterling ran around and kicked a spare ball. I think we’ll sign her up next year if her interest is still high.
On Friday we stayed busy by going to a ballerina story time at the library and then hit up the new splash pad in our area and enjoyed a picnic before playing. The kids loved it after they warmed up to it. This was our first trip to any splash pad this year. Sad. Just sad. We’re actually heading back tomorrow.
On Saturday we drove up to MN (3 hours from us) to visit with family again because my parents came into the area to visit my dad’s mom. It was fun and another hot day out. We drove back that night so I could finish up homework. Xander and Nick played kick ball and Xander thought it was awesome that daddy was playing with him with his hurt back. Haha!
I’m still plugging away at school this summer. Only two weeks left! I have a six page paper and five peer reviews due this Friday afternoon. Then next week I’ll have 4 questions to answer from my instructor (due on 4th), 5 peer reviews, and a 10 page paper all due on Aug 5th. Then I’m done for the summer. I can do this! Although I’d much rather be doing everything else!
Have a great day!
