Summer

Summer is in full swing around here.  I'll admit...I was dreading it.  The school year brought me quiet afternoons while Bryce and Tessa napped and Caden was at school--learning and having someone else fill his time with enriching activities.  I was less than thrilled to be giving that up.  

However (knock on wood, cross my fingers it continues) it's actually going really well, in fact, I'd say I probably prefer it to the school year.  We've gotten into a pretty good routine--usually jobs first thing in the morning followed by swimming and lunch, naps for the little 2 while Caden and I do a few math and reading activities before he heads off to a friend's to play or watches a show. 

Here is Caden and company at Kindergarten graduation. 

Corbyn, Canyon, Spencer and Caden

And the same 4 kids the very next day, living the life as 6 year olds with "no more teachers, no more books..."

 While I do miss my alone time, and grocery store trips are few and far between, we're enjoying the carefree time together.
