summer vacation

Gone Camping

It’s happened. I have checked out. You know how various peopleĀ place those “Gone Fishing” signs on their door? It’s like that. I kind of wish I was a fisherwoman and could escape to my favorite fishing hole, just a walk away from work. Well, not really- because I travel with a lot of kids. But equally as enticing (for me at this moment), is camping.

We are exploring. We are unplugged.

We are watching the sunsets in swing sets.

And making ice cream mustaches (or goatees).

So don’t come looking for me for a while, because I’m out.

But I’ll be back. šŸ˜‰

School’s Out for Summer

The time has come! School is out and summer vacation can begin! Of course we have to celebrate!

It seems like just a few weeks ago, it was the first day of school…

And I had to chase your bus down the street, pregnant and in the rain… right after we took this picture, because it didn’t stop at our house like it was supposed to. But forget all of that! Let’s jump in the pool!

And squirt water guns!

Let’s blow bubbles!

It’s time to kick off our shoes and play in the sprinkler!

We need to jump in a bounce house!

And have a water balloon fight!

We need to eat Popsicles!

…And more junk food!

Because by golly, school’s out and summer is here! And that’s something to wipe our chalk-y hands off and smile about!
