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!

For the first time this week, Jeff was able to get a picture of Addie before drop-of at East Hill. She’s had a bit of a hard transition there her first week, and and drop-off time is always rough. But then I know she warms up and has a great time later!

Today, we got started on the usual routine for this summer. First up, Emmie gets to participate this week in a special camp for the gifted kiddos, through Leon County schools. We were able to rank our choices, and she got placed in her first choice, which was puzzle camp! They are doing all sorts of puzzles, in the style of Survivor, Amazing Race, escape rooms, etc… And she was so pumped to go!

OK so now let’s get caught up on the weekend back at home…
SATURDAY
We ran all over town Saturday morning, getting breakfast, gassing up the rental van, returning the rental van, picking up Pennie. But before we did any of that, we actually had to unload the van, because we got home so late Friday night, that we left basically everything in the van so we could just head to bed quicker.
