This summer Nathan is working full time with Rick, and Britt is working at the Gap and will start teaching swimming lessons in a few weeks, so it's me and Connor! I got home from my bike ride on Monday and Connor had the whole day planned out for us. I thought to myself, "this is going to take some getting used to!" I usually have a lot of time during the day to myself, and for the most part I make my own schedule, but the summer changes that. After a slight attitude adjustment, Connor and I had a great day. While we were on our walk on Tuesday, Connor told me some things he had never told me before about himself. We had an amazing talk. I realized at that moment how thankful I am for the opportunity I have to stay home with my kids. I am so thankful for the walks, the talks, laying on the tramp chatting, for the summer, and for the amount of time I have with my babies.
I loved the Blog Every Day In May Challenge, and although I didn't do great at it, it got me blogging more than I normally do. So I decided that during this summer I would try to take a picture a day of our life and activities. I'll try to add some of our quotes of the day also because they are usually really entertaining!
Here Goes:
Monday: Connor and I rode our bikes to a fun park in Alpine. He is so big that I sometimes forget he's 11 and still loves going to the park.
Tuesday: It's so windy in Highland that it shouldn't be a problem flying a kite even if it is the cheapest, dollar store piece of junk you have ever seen, but obviously it's too hard for us! That dang kite would nose dive no matter what we tried.
Wednesday: Nathan's sliver from work. OUCH!!!
And Kirk decided he missed all the attention he got for having brain cancer, so he went in for another brain surgery!!! He is recovering nicely (after a severe bout with nausea) and should get to go home tomorrow.
Thursday: Connor went to Costco with me at the first of this week, and picked out a few things that I NEVER buy. The worst...Dino Nuggets. His favorite thing in this world. So this has been his lunch every day since Monday. (I can't wait till those dang things are gone!)
Connor: "Mom, have you seen the movie Constipated?"
Me: "What! No!"
Connor: "That's because it hasn't come out yet!"
Nathan: "You should have seen dad today - I thought he was Asian!" (Rick's allergies are killing him and so his eyes almost swelled shut at work.)
Nathan: "I heard a commercial on Pandora today about a man who went to Harvard and did a 10 year study on how to pick up the ladies and wrote a book about it. I'm going to order that book. You think I'm joking, but I'm not!"
Rick: "The more time I get to spend with Nathan, the more thankful I am that he is our son."
Happy Summer Everyone!
