1. When did this boy get so tall??! I came downstairs one morning last week and found him stretched out on the couch reading and he just looked like such a BIG KID!
2. Our house is officially on summer break! The kids spent almost the entire day yesterday outside (and I spent most of the day trying to get the house back into some semblance of order because… May 😅 and approximately 1013847578 things have come home in the last week). So, so excited for slower days and a break from early mornings and homework in the afternoons/evenings!
3. Speaking of summer, I’ve seen so many posts recently about giving kids an 80s or 90s summer… I grew up right in the heart of that, having been born in 1980. If you grew up then, too, what are your summer memories? Ours were really so simple… lots of time outside riding bikes or making up games, slip n’ slide, the ice cream truck, occasional ice cream cones, playing wiffle ball in the yard when my dad came home from work, one week of vacation bible school, catching lightning bugs, running through the grass barefoot (and many bee stings because of all the clover!).
