I am beyond grateful I get to be off of work for the next 74 days!!! I have a lot of things I want to do this summer plus a lot of things I NEED to do as well!
This summer the kids and I will:
- go to the splash pad
- go to the YMCA pool
- go to the library
- visit the Children’s Museum, Aquarium, and the Houston Zoo!
- go to the park
- play in the sprinkler
- blow bubbles
- play with chalk ( especially with the cool new sidewalk tattoos I found at Walmart)
- read a lot!
- make crafts
- dance
- try new foods and attempt to make fun snacks!
- plan a trip to pick our own fruit
- ride a real train and probably the Hermann Park train as well. 🙂
- pray together
- read the Bible together ( these last 2 are the most important that I hope we can do more of)
Oakland is also going to 2 VBS’! He is so excited.
I don’t think I am going to enroll Ainsley in anything just yet. I am not putting them in a mothers day out program either.. I want to spend every day with them!
The Woodlands Library ( we go to the one on Ashlane Way) has a jam packed schedule. We loved seeing Dinosaur George last year and he is coming back on June 30th! Oakland loved him! They also have a reading program that he will do again.
I also want to make it a priority for Oakland to have rest time ( 1 hour is my goal) He does not have to sleep, but play in his room with NO TV. Honestly, he watches way too much TV and I would like to find other areas in which he can have fun without the tv being on.
We will also continue to review all letters, numbers, and their sounds. I don’t want him to forget everything he has learned this past year. Everyday I will introduce a letter with it’s corresponding sound and we will start blending the sounds together to form words… he has a strong interest in reading and learning in general! We will use the Wanda Sanseri phonogram cards.
In the midst of doing all these fun things I will be planning Ainsley’s 1st birthday party!!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously cannot believe that!!!!!!
being a working mom definitely made the time fly by even more!
If you live in Houston and have some ideas on what we should do and I left them off…. please let me know! 🙂
Don’t forget to find me on instagram to follow all of our fun happenings!
I also wanted to point out that my supply is slowing decreasing and I am only PUMPING TWICE A DAY AND IT’S GLORIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are the awesome sidewalk tattoos!!! Get them now! 🙂
🙂
XOXO,
BRITT
