What I Did On Summer Vacation

Well, the day is here!  It's our First Day of School!  Our uniforms are clean, our lunches are packed and our pencils are sharpened :)

In honor of this exciting day, I thought I'd answer the classic first day of school question, "What did you do on your summer vacation?"

Well, we beat the heat in the water.  In both splash pad and pool form ;)



We lounged... 


... and laid...


... and all took some ridiculously good naps.



We partied, ate, crafted and explored through some of our very favorite books...


... and apparently we spent a LOT of time at the grocery store :)



  
 We wore cute monograms...
  


... and lots of red, white and blue.

   

 I hosted a shower...


... finished a mini makeover of our bedroom and office...


... and moved Griffin to her new big girl room.


We watched both the boys (enthusiastically) perform in church musicals...



... and spent many evenings cruising the golf course.





We spent LOTS of time with friends...





... made LOTS of memories in Colorado...


... and ate LOTS of ice cream :)





Here's our summer in just about 3 minutes ;)


 Getting to spend summers with my kids is a huge blessing that I definitely don't take for granted.  The quality time can't be beat and even though I crossed off about 2 things from my "Summer To-Do-List" I wouldn't change a thing.

  7. I love that picture of your little girl on 4th of July with the dog. That pose reminds me of a little girl I used to see in an old advertisement...but I can't remember the product...it was an old, old advertisement. She also reminds me of Shirley Temple.

  11. You are so blessed to be able to make memories with your children during the summer instead of going to work every day while the children are still sleeping. I wonder every summer morning, "WHY DIDN'T I LISTEN TO MY MOTHER AND BE A TEACHER?"

  13. We started school last week too and I have reflected on our summer and I can honestly say I am so glad I work a job where I can spend as much time with them as possible during school breaks! That quality time is something I hope they remember for years to come!
