Summer Time, and the Living's Easy...

Could there be any better job than getting paid to do whatever you want during the summer?  It seriously makes up for all the stress of the school year.  We have been having a great, laid back summer so far.

Reading, reading, reading!

Dressing up

I love the last picture because it shows some more freedom in our house.  We put all the girl's cups, plates, and bowls in a bottom drawer in the kitchen.  So whenever I get the "mommy, I'm thirsty" comment, they can now help themselves.  With a footstool I brought home from my classroom, they can drink water all day long!  This also helps with setting the table, and emptying the dishwasher.  They can do all of their own dishes!
Stay tuned for our big summer adventure, our road trip out to AZ.  I'm sure I will have lots of pictures and stories to blog about!

Slurpee Time

To celebrate our 80 degree weather, I took the girls to get slurpees.  I think all the sugar made them stay up later than usual.  Oh well, they seriously enjoyed it!

Love G's face!

Slurpee Weekend

This weekend, we introduced the girls to slurpees. I originally wanted to take Gianna to get a sno cone (cuz whats more summery and american than that?) but a small is $2.50 at the sno cone place by our house. So I did the math and realized that at .79 cents, slurpees are going to be the new summery, american treat.

We went back for more the next night too!
