Our first official day of summer!

 

We are balancing schedules and trying to squeeze in as much fun and family time as possible. I work in the mornings, B works afternoons, we have dinner together and then we both get more work done in the evening. It’s a busy time, but I’m thankful for the flexibility.

This morning the girls and B rode bikes to 7-11 and then to the park. This afternoon they had a tea party with their American Girl dolls in our bedroom while I did laundry. Obviously it’s not a competition, but there is no possible way I can compete with B. Slushies and monkey bars vs folding laundry? I’m screwed.
