Summer Days



We have been having a nice relaxing summer.  Sometimes it is a blessing to have no money and no days off, because you don't have the option of going anywhere.  We have loved just being home and having all the time to relax and be together.

We also actually have a schedule for most days which I really enjoy and the boys seem to like as well.  Most mornings the boys wake up between 6:30-7. This works out great because then they can both see Michael before he leaves for school.

After breakfast we go for a bike ride...I should say Alden goes for a bike ride and Calvin and I follow in the stroller.  We all love getting out before the hot sun!

Calvin comes home and takes his nap, while Alden and I do school.  I know Alden is only 2 and doesn't really need to do school, but I love seeing him learn and he enjoys the one on one time with me, often school is just a bunch of games anyways.  We read words, play uno, count teddy bear counters, look at clocks, color pictures, look at our week, or we make dinner in the kitchen we both really enjoy it most days of the week.

When Calvin wakes up we all go swimming.   This is a love of all of us!
We come home have lunch and both boys go down for naps...or at least Calvin takes a nap..Alden thinks he doesn't need one anymore.

Afternoons consist of either violin/piano lessons or going to the library.
Overall it makes for some wonderful days!!
