Here's what I put on FB about our summer last weekend:
My son would describe our summer fun in two words: Nailed it.
And yes, he's 6 and only recently discovered this term so it's totally not outdated to him. But I would agree. When you move to a new city with zero friends, family or clients and 2/3rds of the camps you had lined up for your oldest are cancelled, you have no choice but to up your stay-at-home mom game. And you bet your ass I did just that. We FILLED our days with activities around the city, did arts and crafts, hit up the pool a million times, watched movies, enjoyed frozen treats, cooked, took bike rides, had trips to several parks and scheduled playdates with our good friends who live over in Dallas. But the absolute best parts and the ones I'll never forget? When we were playing in the playroom and the dog farted and the kids and I died of laughter for what seemed like an hour. Or the numerous performances we got from Ady and her new karaoke machine. Or when Drew asked to take a nap and I got some snuggling time with my non-snuggler. The small things. Those were the best.
It sure was a summer to remember and one I absolutely loved and if you don't count the tantrums from Miss Priss, I'd have to say we nailed it too.
