I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to make them shower and we look at the schedule and wonder if it's Friday yet (another elusive "noun"). Schedules on schedules on schedules.So in effort to find out where this "summer" went let's recap! Spoiler alert... it was pretty darn fun :)California with Firecracker Crew (June)
Big Bear, California (June)
Sleepover with the best buddies! (June)
We just CLOSED on our build (more about that later) - July
Lots of swimming (All Summer)
Another California Trip! (July)
Lost some teeth along the way!
We said goodbye to daycare (all 3 went here) - July
Saying Goodbye to Mrs. Nise (Denise), All 3 kiddos had her as their teacher! Minnesota Lake Trip (July)
Then... "it" came to an end. And here we are, back to the routine with 4th, 2nd and Pre-K kiddos. Bring it on, until next time "summer"...until next time.
{deep breath}… We did it, we made it, and we are still alive to talk about it… We made it to and from New York City with our sanity in hand! Actually we got back on the 11th of October but it has taken me a few weeks to recover from the trip, I needed a little space between me and NYC, and now that I am feeling whole again I am ready to revisit our trip. When Matt and I were invited to my college teammates wedding in NYC there was NO WAY I was missing it. For one, she’s amazing and I was soooo pumped for her, and 2… it’s NYC! My only discrepancy was to take the kids or to leave them. Well when we asked my parents if they would be willing to take them while we were away, it turned into “sure we will watch them… in NYC!” So there it was the making of a weeklong family trip to the big apple. For those of you who know how type “A” I am, I am sure you could imagine how overwhelmed I became in thinking of all the things we were going to do while we visited, so when mom and dad said we...
