Summer, here we come...

This is the first full week out of school (do you feel the excitement)? We were all ready for that day to finally come. I am really looking forward to spending the summer with my 2 beautiful children, Graham- 6, and Mallory Kate- almost 18 months. We kicked off the summer by having Graham's 6th birthday party at the pool. We had a blast and the weather couldn't have been better for a cool pool party! Graham got lots of cool things for his birthday, like a Nintendo DS Lite from us. We chilled out over the weekend and tried to beat the heat! Yesterday, Monday, was the first real day of the summer break. We had a busy day, which I like! We went to the library in the morning and signed up for the summer reading program. And let me tell you...Graham was everything but excited about that! However, he was excited to finally get his own library card. Then we met Jennifer and the girls at Chick-fil-a for some lunch. They came back to our house and played while Mallory Kate took her nap. After she woke up, I took the kids to the pool...by myself, and it wasn't bad at all! Graham is such a good swimmer now, so I just have to convince Mallory Kate to stay in the water! Hopefully she'll get used to it more and more as we go. We came home after an hour and a half and they were ready for dinner! Busy day...yes...but I loved every minute of it!
