In case you missed the first hundred times I've probably mentioned it, can I just say how much I love summer?! Long days of sunshine, all kinds of outdoor options, a chance to see our non-school friends (and get together with school buddies, too!), and less rushing around... I don't know about the kids, but I am so dreading the return to school. Before it's over, I wanted to share some of the ways we've been spending our sweet summer days.

Staying in our PJs longer, watching movies, and cuddling.

 
"Fairytale Ballet" class with friends.

Coloring and working on puzzles together (a new family favorite since Liam can now do the big ones).
 
Building with LEGOs, including a whole week of LEGO class. 
 
Swimming lessons (Greta took hers at the very beginning of summer vacation; Liam is just wrapping up his session now).
 
Gymnastics class.
 
Explora science camp (with pal Cody).
 
Building forts and having extra time to play around home.

Ah, slow down time and let August be an extra long month!! -Amelia
