Lately...
We've been enjoying our summer so much. How's your summer going?
We have been attending the library for special events and our oldest is zooming through the summer reading program. -She's pretty excited about the cute little prizes they get after each section is completed.
It's been raining so much. I'm actually enjoying it very much. On rainy days we play board games, build forts and just enjoy our time together as a family. We came across some watermelon-flavored cupcakes while shopping. We baked them and spread them on some very green icing. -Honestly, I wasn't so crazy about them. Something about the flavor threw me off a bit. My oldest and my husband seemed to have enjoyed it. I'm happy they at least enjoyed it.
We've been grilling more. Chicken, steak, sausages, and more. My husband picked up a small smoker box for the grill. He's been adding in some wood chips when he starts up the grill. I'm thrilled about making kabobs over the weekend.
My oldest has been preparing food in her play kitchen. She bakes and even grills for us all. Her restaurant is always open and she's always so excited when she gets new orders. :) She's also been taking care of her baby doll. She feeds her and cuddles her to sleep. Our little one will be 10 months on the 16th of this month. She's very active. Crawling, boosting, sitting up, and getting her hands on everything she comes across. She keeps me very active!
All is well and we can't wait for more summer fun. I hope you all are enjoying your summer with your family and friends. :)

Not a fun surgery sadly. I'm recovering from surgery and next weekend we move. I'm just ready for August to get here. It'll be a much more quieter time and I'll get to enjoy my coffee on my back patio and watch my little guy roll around in the grass. First time we've had grass! Haha even in this place we are in now it's just bushes and the tiniest slab of concrete you've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteDina, I hope you have a speedy recovery. Sending hugs your way. -And yes, you'll be able to sit out back and enjoy your little guy while he rolls around in the grass. Ah, that sounds nice. I wish you all the best with this move. Get plenty of rest friend.
DeleteThanks going to have some posts forth coming of that for sure and making plans to go visit some stuff around the island once we are settled. At least I can walk with no pain meds at this point just don't as me to run haha!
DeleteThat sounds like a great summer Stephanie! I'm not sure I would be a big fan of the watermelon cupcakes either, but if it's sweet I know my kids would enjoy them. :)
ReplyDeleteOur summer has been busy, but a lot more relaxing now that July has come. I hope your family continues to have a great one! xxo
Kristy, thank you so much! Yeah they had a different taste. -One I just wasn't very fond of. I think cupcakes should taste more like cake and not jello mix. Lol
DeleteI'm happy to hear you've been able to relax. That's always nice. -Especially when you're having a busy summer. Gosh, I always feel so busy. :) Thank you for stopping by. I need to visit your blog!
It's been a rainy summer here, too. The watermelon cupcakes look so good :)
