I thought it would be fun to give y'all a peek into a day in my life but in the summer! My days are SLOW which I love so don't hold your breath for too much excitement ;)
I did have to set a 7:30 a.m. alarm on this day because it was "Fall dance class registration morning" so I needed to get her class selections submitted ;)
I laid in bed for a hot minute but then drug myself out by about 8:15 lured by a peanut butter English muffin and some puzzle time. G was still asleep and both the boys were at XC practice so it was some really nice quiet time.
Rosie and I puzzled...
... let a sleeping Frank out...
... and I started a new audiobook.
Jelly Bean assisted me in some bible reading quiet time...
... and then G woke up and the boys got home around 9:45.
Luke asked me to play a quick round of our FAVORITE game...
... and then we did a little watering, poop pickup, pool cleanup, etc.
By about 10:30 G and I were settled in on the couch for some bedazzling and Gilmore Girls time...
... Luke made some sort of smoothie concoction for him and Mason...
... and my bedazzle time quickly morphed into work time when I had a couple of quick turnaround requests and emails I needed to take care of.
My Walmart order was delivered....
... and then it was back to Filmore Girls and work things for a bit longer...
... with lunch time mixed in there. On this afternoon I had some Caesar salad (from a bag - nothing fancy!) with a leftover hamburger patty. IT WAS SO GOOD!!!
We've reached the point where all my kids pretty much make their own lunches when they're ready so I just prepped my own lunch! HALLELUJAH! ;) hahaha
Around 12:40 Mason informed me he was heading out to meet up with some friends. He got an e-bike a few months ago and LOVES the freedom it affords him. He's out most days riding around with friends, swimming, hanging out, etc. HE LOVES IT!!!
G had moved on from bedazzling to coloring while we binged Gilmore Girls and Luke headed out to a HW Youth Group lunch event thing.
By 1:30 G and I decided it was time to get out of our pajamas....
... and into the pool.
I read a bit, timed some handstands, and eventually got all the way in the water...
... because Luke got home and insisted on attempting to flip G and I off the tumble track which turned into "one leg races" and other various pool competitions.
We got out around 3:30...
... and G got in my bathtub and wanted to watch more Gilmore Girls from the tub in my bathroom ;) hahahaha
I settled in on the bed with a cup of tea and my laptop to knock out some emails while we watched.
Once she got out we said we were going to turn off the show but instead we popped some popcorn and settled in for "a few" more episodes ;)
Around 5:30 we decided we should actualy do somethign productive so we headed upstairs and I helped her pull out what she wanted to pack for our upcoming trip.
Dave got home around 5:45 and we caught up a bit and this was the point where I realized I had forgotten to pull out the meatballs I was going to use to make this orzo dish for dinner. We decided that a leftover night was in order before we headed out of town so I got back to my puzzle and book ;) hahahaha
Around 8:15 G and I settled into my bed for dinner and more Gilmore Girls (this is a super special treat at our house) while the boys watched basketball.
Around 10:30 my crazy pool hair and I decided to wash our face and retire to the bed (again!) with my book.
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT! A super low-key, super couch potato-y day in the life in the summer ;)
HAPPY Wednesday, friends!!!
