That's A Wrap!

The month isn't over yet but summer break is! Here are some July happenings...

We weren't too busy the holiday week. We did go to a BBQ/swim party one evening, but we actually spent the July 4th holiday at home. We watched fireworks on TV, however I think I'd be interested in taking the kids out next year. They really seemed to like watching them...they stayed up just as late as if they were out ;)

Spirited!

The second week Nate was in a camp all week, three hours each morning. Awesome! It was mostly a "play" focused camp at a local recreation center that offers swim, gymnastics, dance,etc. Nate had a lot of fun out on the gymnastics floor. One day they rented a water slide for the kids to play on and the last day of camp they had a few bounce houses.

Nate has had a lot of fun at Lowe's this month - they offer free, "build a project" classes for kids. It's great for something to do with daddy when he's home on the weekends.

This last week our great friends from Australia were in town. We had them over for a playdate with other friends at our house and went out to lunch a few times. Nate was super excited to see his friend Lauren (I think the feeling was mutual!)

Lauren and her brother Jackson's birthdays are coming up soon so we decided to sing Happy Birthday a little early. I couldn't find birthday candles so  a scented one had to substitute.

Today and yesterday we had some playing fun. Nate enjoyed going to a few Great Play camps and today we had a date with some of Nate's closest friends.

That about sums it up! We just had Meet The Teacher last night...T-minus three days until school starts! It went well, though I think you could sense looks of concern on the children's faces :) It has helped to know that Nate has a few friends from his preschool class in his room, and other friends are in classes in the same building as his.  He's overall excited, but there's some nervousness a bit on not knowing what to expect (and I expect a tired, overwhelmed little boy next week when he gets used to being at school all day and all the homework he's about to get! Yikes! There's no naptime anymore...)

Fingers crossed for both of us on Monday!
