We have had nonstop fun this summer. We’ve stayed up late way too many nights, spent so much time with friends, swam almost daily, eaten approximately 1 million freezie pops, gone lots of fun places, played soccer, tee ball, golf, and spent time in swim lessons, and so much more… and it’s only July!
This week was the last week of soccer- the boys enjoyed it a lot, and I ended up enjoying it more than I’d expected, but I am happy to have our Tuesday nights back!
Nate was busy on Wednesday morning, so I got to go to golf lessons with Augustus and it was very fun to see him in action.
Xander did a half day soccer camp at school this week and really enjoyed it! His coaches were very complimentary of his playing and on the last day he got a medal, which he was very excited about.
Nate got to take the boys to swim lessons this week and was super impressed with their progress. We are loving the private lessons and it’s amazing to see how good the boys are doing with the individual attention. I think Xander will be done with lessons after this session, and Augustus is way ahead for a 4 year old.
On Friday we found out that we’d been exposed to covid earlier in the week, so I sent Nanny Shyanna home early and we have had a very low key weekend. Originally we were supposed to be up north with the whole neighborhood, but Sam and Abby’s family ended up quarantining before us, so the cabin weekend got cancelled. It was a huge bummer that the cabin got cancelled, but we got lucky that our quarantine weekend came when our calendar was empty.
So far, none of us has any symptoms and I’ve tested negative twice. But I have been more tired than usual (am I a 40 year old mom or do I have covid?!) and the boys just seem “off”- kind of tired, kind of blah, no symptoms, but my mom-radar is alerting me that they seem weird… I don’t know if our incredibly busy summer has finally caught up to all of us and we’re all just tired and needing a weekend of family snuggling on the couch, or if we are about to get walloped with covid. As a hypochondriac, I keep expecting the worst, but I think it’s probable that we are all just needing a weekend of rest.
Sunday has been a day for chocolate chip pancakes, wearing pjs all day, unlimited screen time, more freezie pops, and lots of puppy snuggles. I’m hopeful for a healthy week ahead!
