Summer 2011

I'm always trying to think of a way to document memories for my kids and have good ideas but I never follow through. So, I think this might be the best way to do it!

June 16, 2011

It was our first day of real summer today! We slept in until Daddy got home around 8:00 which was so nice. Alaina, you made some confetti when we all came down stairs and said, "Hello, summer!" It was fun but a little bit of a mess. Guess who ended up cleaning it up?

After we got ready for the day we headed outside to play! Alaina, you had a great idea to take everything out of the garage so we could clean it. You took out a lot of stuff but didn't really want to put any of it back. Aidan, you were "working" on breaking stuff and Alaina you were hula hooping. Ever since you lost at the hula hooping event at Field Day you are praticing a ton and have a lot of tricks.

You went to Jani's house while I secretly booked airline tickets to Kansas so we wouldn't have to drive all the way! Then we played outside with Theresa for a while and you guys were coloring and I was cleaning, as usual. I was trying not to spend any money today so I used one of my gift cards and we had lunch at Dairy Queen...yum!
After lunch we were back outside to play and try a science expirament. Aidan was describing an expirament he did at school where you make boats out of foil and try to see how many pennies you can add and keep it floating. He lost at school so we tried it at home. It was a lot of fun for us and some of our neighbor friends.
We finished our outside time with a car wash with Abby and Lucas and then we all needed some quiet time. Well, you guys had quiet time and I cleaned.
We managed to fit in a little more play time with the Luce's before dinner and then Daddy took you guys to Aidan's first T-ball practice. Mommy got a little alone time which she really needed!

Now time to relax...

Love,
Mommy
