Our First Week of Summer

Our first week of summer has come and gone.  We kicked off summer with a wonderful, wonderful visit from my mom, MeMe:):):)

 We had a great (but too short) visit with my mom.  And also were excited because Jill & Jack came down to visit for a few days as well.  Lots of cousin time and lots of grandma time is the perfect way to kick off the summer (plus a fun birthday celebration for Grandma!)  We took Grandma to the airport last Wednesday...boo, and then headed home to say hello to a full summer of me and the three kiddos.

We are starting to find our summer rhythm, but keeping three kids busy ALL day everyday is one challenging task.  I'm definitely tired by the time Chris arrives at bedtime!  We started off the summer easy with lots of play time, heading to the gym, & just enjoying the freedom of no school schedules or school routines.  

Fun in the Sun...

Check out our new play structure that I found from someone in the local mom's group.  Worth $100 to keep these kids busy and moving in our backyard this summer.  We have been toying with the idea of what to buy knowing that we are moving next summer (AGAIN!) & renting one more year, do we invest in something & if so, what?  And then, this popped up in my email!  I know Chris is glad that I volunteered for us to buy, disassemble, & reassemble...but we finally have something to climb in the backyard!

And it's perfect to slide into for our own "deluxe swimming pool".  Sorry northern VA but we can't afford to wait seven years on a wait list for the local pools.  Our backyard pool is as fancy as we can get!  

And having fun in the sprinkler.  We have been playing in water almost every afternoon!

Thursday was a rainy afternoon so we spent some time jumping in puddles waiting for Daddy to arrive home.  

And Friday, we attended our first Town on the Green concert in our downtown.  Music & takeout, the perfect night with the kids.  We are working on our DC/Northern VA "bucket list" in case our next move takes us to yet another new town & area!  Never a dull moment in the Rogers' life!

Looking forward to a month of great sunny weather, lots of travel adventures, & hopefully lots of happy memories!
