Sweet Summertime!

Since Avery was in MDO twice a week this year, I feel like this is our first real summer break together.  We have taken full advantage of the extra time doing lots of fun and sometimes random activities.  Here's what's been keeping us busy-

 

 

1. Giving Grace checkups daily

2. Going on some lunch dates with my girl

3. Gymnastics classes- Avery started taking classes once a week with Garrett and absolutely loves them!  I think I may love watching her just as much as she likes doing the classes.  There is nothing cuter!

4.  A little bit of painting- Kelly and I went to The Potter's Wheel to return something and Avery spotted the ceramic animals that you can paint.  I figured it would be fun so I let her pick out what she wanted.  She picked none other than a shark that she decided to paint purple "like my room!"

So happy

5.  Going to the park and sweating like crazy!  Honestly, we haven't gone lately because the day this picture was taken, I just about died from the heat.  Not really, but almost :)

6.  Done some baking



7. Dressed up in Mommy's jewelry- old and not expensive but she sure felt fancy!

 

8.  Dressed up in Princess clothes

Sidenote- Bill and I looked over one evening and Ave was scooting down the hallway like this.  We asked her what she was doing and she replied, "Just riding in my carriage."  Where does she come up with this stuff?

9.  Made some oobleck- I made this with my 3rd graders and they were WAY more into it than Ave.  She played with it for a little while but wasn't all that excited about it.  We may need to try this again in a few years.
 

 

10.  And finally, taken advantage of the free summer movies at Silverado. 

A little excited!

 

We've done a lot but also have a lot in front of us.  Ave's 3rd birthday is tomorrow, VBS next week, 4th of July the week after, and the list goes on.  Yay for summer fun!
