Oh Summer, how we love you!

There is something about Summer that just makes people happy. Mark and I both agree that Summer is best when nothing is scheduled, and fun just happens. The only "official" thing on Megan's schedule this summer is a week long hockey camp. (Something I cannot teach her myself) Other than that...and Mark's golf, nothing is planned. We know dates of when friends/family will be in town visiting, we have a few parties to attend and we have a few ideas of fun places to go to (take our kids to Cedar Point) but we are unscheduled this Summer.

First up, collecting sticks from the yard to build fairy furniture.

 I had to get a picture of her reading like this, because I remember sitting like this when I was a kid!

Dressing up like Doc Mcstuffins and Lambie to give Baron a check-up. 

 

What do you do when it is hot, but Mom doesn't have the energy to take 2 kids to the pool?

Sponges + Buckets of Water = Fun

 

I also made targets with chalk on the driveway and Megan asked me to ask her math problems that would equal the number in the target. What can I say, she likes math!

 

 

I don't think this was the "first bike ride" this year, but this ride just seemed carefree. because we had nothing but time :)

We are lucky that our neighborhood is perfect for Megan to ride up and down the street without many interruptions. Yes, I am in the road when she is. Yes, she stops and moves to the side of the road the second she sees a car!

2+ hours swimming, over naptime...I knew he needed a real diaper on for the car ride because he was going to be asleep before we left the parking lot. He totally walked through the whole Country Club like this!

 A day at the pool, plus shifting bedtimes, my kids we just "tired" so we just needed a day at home. It was still hot out, so bins of water, buckets, spoons and sponges, kept the kiddos busy all day.

Oh, and we also had a pedicure station set up!

So we are 2 weeks into Summer...I think the days are going by quite nicely!
