Week 2 of school was a success! We are still easing in as it was only a 4 day week. All the boys are enjoying their classes, making friends, and get in the van at the end of the day talking nonstop.
On Monday night, our neighbors were at a nearby hotel for the night and invited us for swimming and pizza. I was a little nervous that the boys would be too tired after a full day of school, but they love swimming and we had an absolute blast!
Tuesday was a regular day of school and afterwards, they had their first tennis lesson. Sam and Harvey, the buddies they were in soccer and tee ball with were also there, so it was nice for all of us parents to be able to hang out again.
There was an ice cream social after school on Thursday, and then lots of playing with the neighbors because the weather was fantastic. KT and the boys continue to get more and more comfortable together and have been bonding over video games and computer games.
On Friday, the boys had the day off from school and I headed out of town, so to kick off boys’ weekend, Nate took them to Can Can Wonderland to play arcade games. The weekend was a nice balance of fun and hanging out, with a few park trips, video games, and plenty of times to relax. On Sunday, the boys went to Fort Snelling with Grandma Debbie and then spent the night at her house. They went for a midnight swim (not quite midnight, but it was after dinner so that was exciting).
I spent the weekend at Unglued Summer Camp. It is my third year and absolutely a highlight for me. From the moment you arrive and they hand you a shot of champagne, it’s nonstop fun. I took 4 different craft or cooking classes, there was a camp battle (team pink came in 3rd), a themed dance party (the theme was “campy carnival”), amazing food, open bar, and time with my dear camp friends. It was SO SO fun. I missed my men, but I had the best weekend.
This morning, Nate picked the boys up from Grandma’s house and headed to a brand new park for a playdate with our buddy Shiloh who we met at Family Camp. I had a personal training appointment and then met up with them with a picnic lunch. When we got home, the boys went right outside to play and they were very creative. They were excited when Sam and Abby returned home from the cabin and continued to play and invent things.
We’ve got another 4 day week ahead. I am exhausted from a busy weekend and looking forward to a normal, quiet, routine week ahead!
