...WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT...
These last five years have flown by!  This summer marks the five year anniversary of our wedding, the four year anniversary of trying for Baby #1, the three year anniversary of Brantley's birth, the two year anniversary of trying for Baby #2, and the one year anniversary of...enjoying life as a family of four?  In all seriousness, summer is always a time for reminiscing.  So many great memories are made each summer!  
 
 
...WHAT I'M LOVING...
SUMMER!!  I've officially been done with work for a full week now.  The boys finished out the week at daycare and then because of the holiday, yesterday was my first full day alone with them.  Today, they went back to daycare, as they are going every Wednesday this summer to 1) keep them in the groove 2) give me a little time off and 3) hold our spots.  I haven't had a day completely to myself since, well, pre-Brantley.  It's fabulous, if I do say so myself.  (Yesterday with the boys was pretty great, too, though!)
 
 
...WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO...
Last week was all sorts of fun!   
 
Monday: Bachelorette premier watch party with a couple of neighbors
Tuesday: Freezing cold and rainy Royals game
Wednesday: End-of-School Staff Party 
Friday: Our friends, Mark & Hollyn, were in town so we got a babysitter and went to dinner & drinks with them!
We had kind of a crappy-weather holiday weekend, but the fun didn't stop!
Saturday: A very infrequent trip to the mall and carousel ride.
Sunday: Bowling!!
Monday: The boys and I visited Deanna Rose, while Daddy did some yardwork.



 
...WHAT I'M DREADING...
Dreading?  That word is not in my summertime vocabulary...
 
 
...WHAT I'M WORKING ON...
Scheduling some summertime activities so I don't go completely insane at home 24/7.  We've already got plans to go pick strawberries, meet up with Miss Stephanie + daycare at Chuck E. Cheese, and visit the zoo!  Local friends--let's schedule some play dates!!
 
 
...WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT...
The summer weather that finally decided to show up!  I'm so done with the dreary, rainy days! 
 
 
...WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING...
The Bachelorette!!  Not loving it so far, but it's always hard during the first couple of episodes.  And I just have to say, I know we made the right move into the right neighborhood when some neighbors and I have weekly plans to watch together!  If not the Bachelorette, the Royals game are always on our t.v.  Speaking of, Craig mounted a t.v. on our covered deck.  It's basically the next best thing after the house itself!
 
 
...WHAT I'M LISTENING TO...
Same old.  Usually just the radio.  104.3 to be exact. 
 
 
...WHAT I'M WEARING...
Currently, my swimsuit, a romper cover-up, and my Royals hat!  Ha!  Just got back from some Sarah-time at the pool.  And the hat - well, let's be honest, it's much easier to throw on a hat in the summer.  But I'm happy to finally be in shorts, tanks, and flip flops on a daily basis!


 
...WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND...
Brantley starts Mini & Me Baseball on Saturday.  He's already talking about it non-stop.  Otherwise, no plans other than the usual - spend time outside, grill, socialize with neighbors, and hopefully {weather cooperating} sneak in a few trips to the pool! 
 
 
...WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH...
Next month is June.  So----a whole lotta nothing! 
 
 
...WHAT ELSE IN NEW...
I think I've covered it all.  Summa, summa, summatime!

  1. I'm so ready for some pool time! Although, I'm a little nervous about taking two kids to the pool so we'll see how often that happens. Wish I lived closer, would love to come over for a Bachelorette party!
