Sometimes it feels like summer is moving right along & sometimes it doesn't. DS has been super busy with all of his camps. Since the last day of school, he has not had a day off. He started a STEM space camp yesterday so that's been the 'new' camp to switch it up our of our routine we've had for the past few weeks of the city rec camp he's been doing + his speech/ot camp that he does once a week just in the afternoon. We're going to skip that this week since it's not in our town & only for 2.5 hours. I'd rather him have his full day at space camp & not miss it. He's been having a ton of fun so that's all that matters. I'm basically his personal secretary/chauffeur.

That camp sounds fun, NamasteBirches. I wish I had followed my gut and enrolled DS into some day camps this summer. MH is out of town this week, so I'm trying to do as many activities as possible to tire them out. I'm planning the kids' birthday party and I'm usually more on my game, but this year I'm not. Oh well. They'll still have a good time!

I feel like the universe is trying to keep things balanced for me this week. I have a bunch of really good stuff happening...getting a new dishwasher installed today, DD's birthday is Sunday, and Game of Thrones Season 7 starts Sunday. Then because I have all of that really awesome stuff happening...it throws in my mil coming to visit for DD's birthday. I'm still angry with her being in town last month for a week and only spending about 6 hours with DD...and then having the nerve to say she wished she saw her more.

Nothing too exciting happening over here. We've basically been having a really lazy summer this year. Between lots of allergy appointments and some separation anxiety, it was a challenging school year this year. So it's been nice to take it easy for the last month. We have a beach play date with a friend today though, so that should be fun.
We are kind of busy for the next 3 weeks though. DD and DS have soccer camp next week. Then swimming lesson for the next 2 following weeks. So they are getting excited for those.

We've been really busy. D started his second of two camps today. We've made three weekend trips home for family events, one trip to FIL's, and my H and I took a kid-free beach trip. We've been going to the pool a lot and getting settled in our new house.

Last week was so hectic, but thankfully things will slow down again now. We had a graduation party on July 1st for my niece, my family's annual 4th of July party, and then my family reunion (1 of 3) was the 8th. We skipped the reunion since I was so wiped out from dragging the kids around all week. My husband was also off all last week which was nice, but we didn't really seem to get in as much family time as I would have liked. He was called in to work at least 3 times, which shouldn't surprise me, but being on vacation should mean no call ins (at least to me) DS started Summer Rec through the school yesterday and will attend 4 days a week though August 10th. Now it's just me and DD all day again, which I have missed since school ended. Summer seems to be flying by so fast already!

I feel like this summer has really been going fast but we haven't done a lot. Tomorrow I will be dropping DD1 off for her first drop off event and I'm having all sorts of feels on it. We also leave for our roadtrip next weekend so I should probably start getting some stuff together.

This summer has been pretty hectic. Between weddings, family visits, sick pets, and the 2 kids I'm done. I can't wait to go on vacation in a couple months. Even though the kids will be coming too, it'll be nice to get away for a bit.

It's cool and cloudy here today. I baked a huge batch of cranberry muffins because it wouldn't overheat my house. Dd1 has tennis again today which is super cute to watch. After I'm going to the gym for the first time in two weeks. 😳 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Http://notjustnovels.wordpress.com

So at DS' speech/OT camp, he gets a book & whatever craft they worked on that correlates with the book. They also include a summary of what was done. I had just read it the other day (mom of the year over here.) So they had a little blurb about seeing everyone next week (which is today) & how they're excited because I guess the book is going to be firetruck themed so they're having a fireman come with his truck. I had told DH like aw man, that sucks because we planned on skipping it this week for space camp (the speech/ot camp is only 2.5 hours in the afternoon, I've been picking him up early after playground camp to go.) DH had said maybe you ask the space camp guy what's on the agenda Thursday afternoon & I didn't really want to because in this camp I know they do things. I picked him up the other day & they were playing with rockets & he was having a blast. I don't want him to miss any of it but anyways, yesterday when I went to get him the guy that runs it came over to me to ask how DS is liking it, etc. He then said tomorrow is going to be a fun day. There are some NASA guys coming in to talk to them & they're bringing Rovers for them to play with, like the actual ones that have been or are going to Mars. Like that totally trumps looking at a fire truck. We see fire trucks all the time at fairs, touch-a-truck events that we've been to a few already anyways. So DS was super excited this morning. Last year our NASA research centers had an open house that they did for the first time in 8 years & we went. DS still talks about it. So heck no is he missing NASA guys today. Lol

That sounds really awesome! I hope he had fun. I would have skipped the firetruck for NASA too.

One the kids couldn't touch & one that they got to drive so he was super amped when I picked him this afternoon. He also got more NASA stickers, as if we don't have enough. Lol

DD's birthday was yesterday, so now I have a 4 year old. How did that happen? The best part was when my parents called her to wish her Happy Birthday...and she would tell them Happy Birthday to you too.

This week has been extremely exhausting and busy. Today I'm going to be spending the day finishing up some odds and ends for our trip and making sure the house is clean.

Hope you have a safe trip younglove! Afm...I'm finally getting things ready for my sisters baby shower...which is in 2 weeks. I'm still waiting on a few people to rsvp, but I have a general idea on how many are showing up to buy stuff. DD "helped" me roll a box of diapers for a diaper cake this morning. Mostly, she tried to roll them and I would redo it when she was working on the next one. She did do a really good job putting them back in the box for easier transport though. After she got tired of helping with the labor she started helping manage. Any time I broke the elastics she would tell me "Mommy, you need to do it gently...then it won't break."
