Life Lately

I can't believe we are already more than half way through August! August is my least favorite Arizona month and we have tried to schedule something fun to look forward to every weekend to get us through!
Kate started dance this weekend and I failed to take a picture! I also hosted her play group this week and I love all of her cute friends!

I am so over swimming by August but we all decided to swim after Kate's swim lesson. It was 111 degrees at 5:30 and we ended up having so much fun. My underwater camera makes swimming a lot more fun for me :)





Spencer surprised me with a weekend hotel stay in good old Gilbert, Arizona ALL BY MYSELF as an early birthday gift and it was heavenly!!! It's one of the last weekends in my 20s and I am really going out with a BANG! haha I can't think of a time that I have been completely alone for longer than three hours since having Jack and I was soooooo ready for it! I slept in, ate all of my favorite food, shopped, went to yoga, worked on some computer projects, binge watched Modern Family, and went on a date with Spencer on Saturday night.

As I was leaving on Friday and trying to explain to the kids where I was going and why, David's last words to me were, "Wait why are you doing this?!" and when I called the kids on Saturday Kate said, "Mom, you come home peeeese?!" haha My mom told me on Friday to have a good time on my "walkabout" and I really did! I had such a great time that I think I want to celebrate every birthday completely alone from here on out - or at least every birthday until my kids stop sucking the life out of me (or will they do that forever???! ;) Spencer did good this year in the gift department - I would have never thought to ask for this and it was just what I needed!

Things I'm Loving

  • Our 90 degree weather on Saturday night with a breeze that didn't feel like a blow dryer ;)
  • Play dates 
  • School being in session, as evident in this post - we are out of things to do in the heat! Here are some pics of Jack's school assignments - love that he is writing about barf, toilets, and booties. I must be doing something right lol

  • The DI in Gilbert! I have scored on potty training incentives for Kate :)
  • The way Jack and David make their bed (when they actually do it which is basically never) Jack has slept with Winnie the Pooh and David has slept with Groot since we went to Disneyland 6 months ago!
  • Kate and her ridiculous outfit that she insisted on wearing at KTR! haha
  • Pogo pass Diamondbacks game night and the fact that we all were happy to leave after the 4th inning! haha
  • Slip n slide neighborhood family nights
  • My cute little super heroes!
