First Summer Play Date!

Our next adventure between school ending and camp beginning was to have some friends over. Miss Roo wore her Minnie Mouse dress and requested her friends do the same. Adorableness ensued:

After some bubbles, sidewalk chalk, tea parties and dolls it was time to beat the heat so we headed out to the pool! My pool was absolutely full of mermaids! Leeloo beat the heat by laying under my chair. It was beautiful day, the butterflies were out in force.

After the pool party broke up there was pizza and another viewing of Frozen. It was a wonderful day. Good friends are the best. Welcome summer!

After Roo's friends went home she had a nice long nap. It was in a nest again, in case you were wondering. After her nap she and I did puzzles. She's getting better and better at puzzles all the time. Her proud puzzle completion moment!

30 Days of Gratitude: Days 8, 9, & 10

Day 8: I'm grateful for bad jokes! Like milk through the nose in front of a crowded lunch table stuff. The jokes that reassured you that your once charming boyfriend had truly transformed into someone's dad (oh, the puns!). Those terrible jokes that snap you out of reality for just a moment. The jokes that really should be followed by wah-waaah, but you're so taken aback you laugh. You're not really laughing at at the joke, but at the person who actually said that out loud! Those jokes.

Day 9: I'm grateful for dress up clothes and the silly girls who wear them!

Day 10: Childhood best friends! Honestly, what would we do without them? You'd never make it to adulthood without them. I feel as blessed by my own as I do by my children's. I mean, is there anything more wonderful? No judgments, no expectations just fun and silliness. Just thinking about it makes me want to watch The Sandlot (or it could be the s'mores we had the other night-I'm thankful for them too).
