Summer Obessions (June)

It's funny because we hold our breathe for summer so we can relax, make lists of all the things we want to do with the "extra time" not spent shuttling around, playing on a team, dance class, gymnastics class and SCHOOL. Well it's summer and it's going too fast and it freaks me out that the backpack catalogs are arriving and Target is already doning their shelves with every kind of pen, pencil, marker, binder and notebook you can imagine. Yes, we go and drool but I am SO NOT READY for that yet. But back to the holding the breathe part...I am STILL WAITING to start all my lists of things I wanted to accomplish this summer one being getting caught up on this blog.

I may not have attemped to catch up on blogs but we have managed to throw in some summer obsessions...so far...meaning we will squeeze every last day of summer and more obsessions until the first school bell rings. Let's just hope I am not in denial and my kids have their backpacks come August!

We have been trying to tackle our summer bucket so if you peeked into "our summer" this is what you would find


Riding lawnmowers at the local home improvement store! A definite favorite.

 


Summer swimming and bbq with some friends we missed for a long time!

 

Showing off her mad monkey bars skills after a bike ride to the park.

 

Lil sis is NEVER far behind.

 

Neither is lil brother...he absolutely ADORES her and walks around the house all day long looking for her and if he can't find her right away comes to me with his hands in the air and says, "where'd titi go?" with the cutest little confused look on his face.

 




Rode on a donkey during VBS week at church.

 

Made sure we had plenty of shades for all our time outdoors.

 

Trying one of our many smoothie recipes, bound to find a favorite. And I just think we did, thank you Miss Martha Stewart! Delish!

 

Playtime, Cribtime....oh how I will miss these days!


Grocery shopping at the "local" market...one who only carried cliff bars this day

 

Many, many, many popsicles.

 

And enjoying anything that can squirt water at one another...especially these cool squirters from Poppy & Judy.
