WOW, what a vacation week! I am a born organizer- list maker...but if there is one thing that motherhood has taught me, it is that life does not always happen according to our plans. Although we began the week with a bang, spending all of saturday the 4th, sunday and monday at the beach and bbq-ing with family and friends, by the end of the week, this mama was feeling a tummy bug comming on! I couldn't believe it! I had so many other things that I had wanted to squeeze into this week, but by the weekend, all I could think of was how grateful I was that my mama was able to come over to help me with the kids while I sat in a pile on the couch!
Before I was laid up on the couch (and still in denial that I was infact under the weather), we did manage to fit in some fun summertime memories. In addition to the beach, we did make it to the spinkler park, finally had a chance to take the kiddos down the new trail that runs along the river right by our house, and harvested our first tomatoes!
As I recovered, we spent the last of the weekend trying to get ourselves organized for the upcomming week, vacuuming, laundry, washing a puppy... all of that fun stuff. I don't think that any of us would say that the week was not a good one. There were planty of icepops around to keep everyone happy, and I think that the kids really enjoyed spending time with their Mimi. How can I complain? We survived, no one else is feeling under the weather and lucky for me, there are still a good number of weeks this summer for us to fit in all of our adventures!
Hope you had a great (...and healthy) weekend!

Great summer memories are made of a thousand little moments :o) Some are great, some are not, but they all add up. It was good that you took some time off.
