Welcome to summer vacation at our casa! It’s a horrific attempt at time management. Gwyneth will continue to go to preschool half day 4 days a week, Annabelle will hang out at the pool with a nanny for 2 hours each morning 4 days a week, and I will attempt to squeeze all my work in during those 2 hours and then finish when they go to bed at night and not lose a minute of this precious time with them….or more importantly not lose my mind. It’s a delicate balance. I recently read a book that sad the busiest people are the happiest people and I intend on being the very happiest momma in town this summer!
I’m not doing this alone, not at all. B is working his tail off at school. He’s gone most days at 6 am for school and then afterwards he’s usually volunteering or studying or a combination of both. I’m pretty sure I will look back at this year as one of the best of our lives. We are exhausted (and maybe a touch cranky from lack of sleep) but we are focused and happy.
If you are looking for Annabelle this summer here’s where you can find her. This girl has never found a pool she doesn’t like.
Gwyneth’s playgroup meets every Tuesday afternoon and it doubled in size with the siblings out of school for the summer. It’s a big, fabulous group of kids and women who I adore. This week was our turn to host and we set up the sprinkler and pulled out the sidewalk chalk in the backyard. The kids played so well together and I loved chatting with the moms and making some fun plans for the summer.
Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday afternoon. Not bad at all.
B had a very, very long day. He left before 6 am for school and then went straight to the governor’s mansion to cater dinner for Governor Hickenlooper. He didn’t get home until almost 10 p.m. and we really missed him. We are very proud of him (and only slightly envious). Check out the menu, food, and mansion here.
