Here’s a recap of life lately!
Boy oh boy have we loved having warm sunshine around here! I feel like the kids have been cooped up inside for months, and we spent SO much time outside during the warm stretch we had last week. (Randomly it was 86 degrees one day and then snowed the next for 2 hours?!) We’ve settled back into early spring temps this week.
B became the scooter master of the neighborhood, doing lap after lap around the block.
I love having this mountain view for my walks! (It’s also stunning in the fall when the whole thing is bright orange.)
Eastwood Girls Afternoon
I met a bunch of girl friends and some of their kids at Eastwood for an afternoon when the weather was perfection.
We had a great time catching up and feeling guilty for saying the sun was hot when we loved it so much!
Summer Preview
Mazen and I got birthday cake ice cream cones after school one day to pretend it was summer. (Don’t tell Birch – he was till at Afterschool!)
I had leftover caprese ingredients at my house from the botanical party so I pretended it was July and made these just for me to eat!
New Spring Shoes
I LOVE my Allbirds Tree Runners, as you can tell by the totally worn out sole. I wear them almost everyday in the spring/summer/fall, and they are the most comfortable casual sneakers I’ve tried. I found this new pair on sale and got them! I honestly thought they were white, but they are a very very light blue. But I will take that to save $50!
New PJS!
I also treated myself to some new PJs. I considered getting more Lake PJs because I love the thick cotton, and I had the idea to search for Lake dupes on Amazon. SCORE because all 4 sets were under $70! They are awesome – thick, soft fabric. I love the short set for summer and got them in two colors! POCKETS!
These long ones are SO soft, and I love the cuffed bottom (so they don’t drag) and the pockets!
Left-Handed Coloring
Indoor activities – B is really into coloring and I am so happy! I love to sit and color. He draws pirate ships and Harry Potters, and I have an adult coloring book I’ve been working through. I got him this new marker set, and it’s fabulous!
School Bingo Night
Our school had a fabulous bingo night that I went to with B. We did not win, but we came close!
There was also a magician that we rotated through who made us all laugh.
Sunset Paint & Sip for Jonathon!
Our friend group was so excited to do a paint and sip night for Jonathon’s birthday. We have an actual art teacher in the mix – Ms. Maddie!
Maddie teaches art to kids, so of course we had to bring out our best middle school questions for her! Haha. She did a great job leading us through this sunset.
Happy Bday J!
J has spent a lot of time in Hawaii and California, so I baked a coconut cake for the occasion!
I’ll sunset this post with that : )
