Summer is here...

 Finally! Summer is here! We kept a pretty busy schedule this first week of summer and we are loving every minute. We have so many fun plans!

At my work end of the year party, I won a gift card to the mall, so Sunday after church, we headed that way to spend it. Kent loves playing in the kid's area so he was a happy guy that we made that our first stop together! {With my gift card, I got a few tank tops for summer plus some really good smelling shampoo & conditioner. Score!}

On Monday, we had a quiet day - we got the oil changed in the car and then came home and caught up on some housework and watched a new movie we got from RedBox (Norm of the North)

On Tuesday, Kent started swim lessons for the summer! He LOVED it!

After swim class, we had a picnic lunch with this amazing view.

And when we got home, we were worn out and ready for a nap.

On Wednesday, we headed to our local pool for the "Little Tykes" swim time for kids 6 and under. Kent was super excited! We packed a lunch and spent a long time there. He is now big enough to do the "big slide" which was the best news ever to my five year old!

When we got home, we started the project of rearranging his room a bit. I started by cleaning out his large dresser which had all of his artwork from the past few years. I used freezer bags to sort and label them by years so we can add them to a special memory box for him {like my mom did for me.} It will be fun to look back on all of these little projects through the years!

On Thursday, we had swim class again. His confidence is already growing so much with his swimming - it's so fun to see!

And last night, I was exercising in our living room and Kent wanted to join. It was almost bed time so we decided to do something calm. I searched for yoga for kids and found this fun video. Kent loved it (and looked so cute doing it, I had to snap a pic.)

Did I mention we LOVE Summer? :)
