I love that being a teacher allows me summers off with my kids. I get time for slower mornings, fun adventures and even the chance to check some things off the "to do" list. Yesterday we had a wonderful trip to the zoo, just us girls. We ate lunch while waiting for the Sparky Show, checked out the animals and ended the trip with a nice surprise that it was Free Monday for the carousel - I happened upon it yesterday, but found out it happens every 3rd Monday in June, July and August so we will probably making a return appearance :) Here are a few pictures of our much welcomed stress-free day:
I am so blessed by these two sweeties and am also continuously amazed by all the new things they are learning. Shannon spends her days making art projects as gifts for the rest of the family, reading books to ME, and just yesterday I taught her how to tie her shoes. Today she woke up begging to tie shoes again today and promptly borrowed one of her daddy's shoes, slipped her foot inside and tied the shoe all on her own with no help or reminders from me. Amelia has decided she is too big for me to dress her anymore and insists on putting all her clothes on herself - including her big girl underwear since she is now potty trained. She wakes up with a smile and a snuggle almost everyday and loves to copy her big sister. I love how much they love each other and play so well together (that's not to say they always get along).
I'm also dreaming about what future summers will be like as our family grows and the adventures they will have together :)
