2014 Summer in Review
So on Monday I posted about how much left we have to do this summer. Despite the fact that we left so much undone, I have to admit that we definitely did have a bit of fun along the way. Here’s what we accomplished this summer:
- Wendy was confirmed
- Princess Anna graduated from preschool (sniff!)
- 1 day trip to the beach with Prince Charming to watch Wendy play sand soccer
- VBS (x2)
- Community Fun Day
- 1 minor league baseball game (not including the Mother’s Day game)
- Hosted a 2-day yard sale (made barely anything…oh well…)
- Visited the church yard sale
- Had fun with friends on the 4th of July
- Visited the library (multiple occasions!)
- Put together puzzles
- Played Hide & Seek
- Used our imagination to have fun
- Played with sidewalk chalk
- Learned a dance
- Made a video
- Spent some time with some of my favorite church ladies
- Spent some time with some of my best friends in other cities and states
- Yard Game Day
- 1 trip to the beach with my parents and the little ones
- Princess Anna went to Kindergarten Camp
- Went to church camp!
- Hands on House
- Please Touch Museum
- Princess Anna and Rapunzel both completed 4 swimming lessons
- 17 locations for letterboxing
- Princess Anna and Rapunzel read for a combined total of 1,012 minutes
- I completed The New Dare to Disciple by Dr. James Dobson
- Even Wendy read a few books (and she doesn’t like to read!)
In the middle of all that, Prince Charming and I began counseling and parenting classes; we worked together to vacuum every day for 6 weeks, did laundry every day for 6 weeks, and lived out of containers to rid our house of pests for 6 weeks; Rapunzel attended play therapy every week; finished one soccer season and began another; went to the dentist; completed one school year and prepared for another; taught Princess Anna to buckle herself (HOORAY! Thanks to Wendy!); celebrated several birthdays (Princess Anna turned 5!); tended a garden; became even more involved in our church (if it’s even possible); babysat my little buddy from church); exercised; colored; did extra work for money; and went to the park. I’m sure there was more, but I’ve listed enough.
How did you spend your summer?
