Here is a snapshot of our day:
One of the things I love about summer is lazy mornings at home. Pancakes for Breakfast.
Less than 2 weeks of summer. *tear*

Beauty & The Beast on Disney Channel this morning.
As usual, Claire wears her Belle dress.
Kate really, really, really wants to learn how to read. So, we have been "practicing" reading.
Every morning we go out to the garden to check on the status of our watermelon that started growing last week. It doubles in size almost every day!
I have these old school roller skates that I got in college at a thrift store (I think). Kate has been begging me to roller skate, so I obliged. She took this picture.
This weeks tomato harvest from our garden. Yay!
Claire's birthday party is less than a month away, and I got the invites printed, picked up and today I addressed them. Here is a sneak peek. I LOVE how they turned out. It is so fun when I have a vision of something & it turns out just how I wanted it!
And, here is our play area. AKA, "The Play Pit". I need to clean out the toys, STAT.
Did you know today is National S'mores Day? It's true. I read it on the internet :)
At the store, I picked up some goodies for S'mores to make after dinner.
Love these new S'mores marshmallows!!
(And, I use Reeses PB cups to make S'mores. Recipe here)
Hope you had a great 10th!
And, don't forget....4 more days to enter my Blogoversary Giveaway!
All you have to do it leave a comment on that post!

I'm going to start setting a google calendar reminder about the 10th every month! I always forget until I read yours!
ReplyDeleteOur summer vacation is over in TX {tear}. We had teacher invservice/professional development this week and next. I miss summer and relaxing mornings already. Your garden is doing awesome! Mine died in this extreme heat and drought :( I'll have to try again next year. Can't wait to see photos from Claire's party. It's going to be super cute judging by the invites!

ReplyDeleteBeauty and the Beast was my favorite as a girl too. I wish I had a Belle dress to dance in while I watch it :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mel! Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. I love your photos-- especially the watermelon (so exciting to watch things growing!), the skates (cute!), and the Disney princess watching the Disney movie. As for the pickles, I have a great canning book called the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving, and it has lots of great recipes and tips for the first-time pickle maker. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteEvery. Single. Month. I. Forget. {true story}
ReplyDeleteI bet if Kate really wants to read she could. EmmyKate started reading last year and she was only 4. She just needed that extra little push from her teacher and she was off and running with it.
ReplyDeleteMel -
ReplyDeleteHave you tried BOB books or the Biscuit the Dog books.
My niece LOVES Biscuit the Dog books and has been reading them since she was almost 3 (close to turning 4).
The Biscuit the Dog books start with one syllable words and usually a sentence is repeated with just one word in it changing.
Good luck Kate!
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in s'mores...Genius! I must give it a try.
ReplyDeletei REALLY need to try those reese's smores!!!
