for the love of summer


From 8-2 pm, I worked like mad; laundering, folding, storing, sorting, vacuuming, scrubbing and cooking our way towards a productive week. The kids and I played and read together, but for the majority of the morning they were on their own, laughing and wresting with each other. After days and days of running around, it was so nice to be productive at home!

At nap time, Josiah went right out but Lilly never fell asleep. It was cherished time with my sweet girl. We must've read every book on the bookshelf twice.

After a couple hours, Josiah woke up. From the time I got him from his crib until the time he feel asleep again for the night, he didn't stop crying. I hate times like this. I feel so bad for him and so frustrated at the same time. We had to put Lilly to bed in the living room until he finally settled down.

This weekend was amazing. It truly felt like summertime.

On Friday, I packed the kids up for the day at my parents. We spent 95% of the time outside, swimming, walking and playing at the park. We had such a great time. Steve took the train down and we had a nice dinner, celebrating my dad's birthday and hanging out together.

Saturday, we went to Steve's parents to spend the day swimming. It was so nice to soak up the sun and splash around with the kids. They're so precious and so much fun.

We spent Sunday running some much needed errands (trip to Stride Rite to purchase good sneakers for the kids, trip to REI to get them bathing suits for next year and hats to protect them from the sun, stop at Babies R Us to look at big kid beds) and a fun trip to the park.

MESSY eaters.
