I just scrolled back through the bloggity-blog to see where I "left off" with summer updates and events; looks like my last post was in May, which means I never even started summarizing summer...
L to the O to the L, whooooopie daisies.
HERE IS A RECAP:
And edited to add*: AUGUST MOM
And that'ssssss the recap of summer 2022! ;) :)
I joke! ...Sort of.
Fo' rizzle though, I am always SO STOKED for the beginning of summer. The thought of having my babies home and having ample time for this, that, and everything in between sounds so wonderful! There are so many great places to visit in our town and so much fun stuff to do for kids; I love taking the girls to the library, children's museum, pools, and everything in between!
The end of May was our first sniff of summer! We had lots of quality family time and saw lots of cousins; Juliette wore her first pigtails and Scarlett had her first real sleepover [aside from the many she's had over the years at Grammy and Papa's] and Harper lost her third tooth!
Memorial Day wrapped up May, and we hit the ground running into June with more cousin play dates! More evening adventures! More library visits and reading and crafting and swimming and playing! Juliette learned to pull up/stand with support, Scarlett had her first ever dine-in experience at McDonald's [not because we are raising uncultured swine, but because COVID has had lobby dining shut down for years!], and Harper bought her first sports bra [which was an immediate MUST-DO action item after she saw her babysitter's 10-year-old daughter wearing one]. Scarlett attended the Princess and Knight YMCA Camp while Harper returned for another week of Totus Tuus at the parish. Harper also took a sewing class with our neighbor and has been sewing things from scratch left and right!
^^ There was even one night after work this month that Mommy got a few hours to herself. Helloooo, happy hour with co-workers! Life is so much better with these beautiful friends!
The first few days of July were jam.packed with gymnastics and 4th of July festivities, and then we scooted out of town for a family vacation to Florida! Princess autographs and Mickey pancakes were in full force for days and weeks after we returned from Disney! We also picked up A TON of new cabinets for the house after returning from vacation [more to come on this in another post!]; Brian has been working on installing everything between his available evenings and weekends, and our house is officially a v. v. messy construction zone again! #fakeitilyoumakeit ...my new life motto.
When July came and went in a flash and the door opened to August, I realized we had to squeeze in all our last minute summer hopes and dreams... We baked and made crafts, had a lunch/playplace date with cousins and friends at McDonald's, and visited the State Fair.
On one of the last days of summer break, the kids got to go to Best Buy and pick out their iPads......a VERY long awaited reward for completing a cleaning sticker chart allll summer long! :)
THEN!
Just.like.that...
...it was time for Back to School Night and the first week[s] of school arrived!
ON TO FALL, which is the best season of all!!! :D
