Let me tell y’all, getting to do drop-off and pick-up for both girls at the same place every day, is SO nice! This is our first time having them at the same place in a few years (last time was 4 years ago, the summer before Emmie started kindergarten), and it’s going great. I just have to park and get out to unbuckle Addie’s car seat, but then things go quickly and easily, and it’s all a one-stop-shopping situation!
…
Today was finally the first day both girls were at East Hill! And Emmie’s first day there this summer! She was a little nervous about her arm, but I talked to the counselors and they understood and said they would help her out whenever she needs it. She also packed a little bag with a notepad and pens, so she can kinda sit down and doodle whenever they play something she can’t participate in. And Addie was just so happy to have her big sissy there now too!

These sweet little girls went to a special Father’s Day breakfast at church with their Daddy before service today. But Jeff didn’t take any pictures of the breakfast…
…
We spent all morning, and the early afternoon, just doing chores around the house. Including, putting together this new shoe cabinet we got from our IKEA trip a few weeks back. Really, Jeff did all the work, and I just sat in the floor handing him pieces when he needed them… And little Addie-in-a-unicorn outfit watched for a while too.

The girls and I had ourselves a little girls day together. I was able to sleep in until 8:30am, which was glorious. Then I got cereal for the girls, and made avocado toast for myself. We got our swim suits on, and then headed out to swim! Grammy and Papa are out of town, but we wanted to spend some time with Grandmommie. So we swam for a while, until the weather got bad, then we went in for lunch and playtime.
…
I gave myself another little blog break last night, after a late night at church, and getting Emerson back home from camp… But today, things are getting back to normal, with Addie spending the day at camp, and Emmie spending the day with Grandmommie.
…
So, yesterday, on Monday, I skipped my daily blog, because I fell asleep on the couch at 8pm, before Addison was even asleep! I only had one picture of each girl from yesterday anyways, so we didn’t miss out on much there… So, on to today, Tuesday! Addie has started getting a little better at East Hill drop-off. As evidenced by the fact that we actually got a picture!

With Emerson’s broken arm, it’s hard to change clothes. So she picked a soft shirt to sleep in last night, and I told her she could just go to church casual today, and wear the same shirt. So she just threw on some shorts and she was ready to go early with me for worship team. We left Addie and Daddy at home to get ready on their own, and so she ended up in a pumpkin dress in June 😉

Since it was just me and my big girl this morning, we went out for a little breakfast date at Dunkin. I let her choose whatever drink & breakfast she wanted (she got the strawberry daydream fizzy refresher with cold foam, or something like that), and I got one of those crazy coffee buckets! Luckily, I had enough rewards points in my app, that I got her drink for free actually.

Emerson didn’t have puzzle camp today, so instead, Papa took her on a special one-on-one field trip! Back in April or May (can’t remember), when Emerson had that awful stomach bug for like five or six days, she missed a field trip at school with her gifted class to visit the Mariana Caverns. So way back then, Papa told her he’d take her one day when she was feeling up to it. And today worked out perfectly for their trip!
