Summer is in full swing. It's so hot! We've still have a lot of fun to be had before the kids start school at the end of August. This month we are taking the kids to the Circus for the first time. They have free passes so it should be cheaper and I can't wait to see how they react to everything. At the end of the month we have a week of VBS. We LOVE VBS and I'm excited to be involved again this year. We do have several appointments mixed into the month as well. I'm trying to get everything checked off so we don't have visits once school is back. In August we are taking them to their first movie at a theater to see Disney's Planes. It seems like it will be like the movie Cars. I think they will do well with sitting. They do good at home watching a movie :) Ricky and I are going to see Wicked on Broadway. I'm super excited!! Anyone been? We have registration and meet the teacher for everyone, and our trip to Pensacola, Florida!! I'm most excited about the beach.
Once school starts back up, we'll be very busy. Madi will go to school Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:15-12:15 and Brody and Gracie will go to school Monday- Friday 8-11. I still need to figure out what activities they will do like dance, etc. and of course therapy will need to start back up :( I'm not looking forward to therapy at all. It's been so nice having the time off and the kids are learning and progressing so well. They can each drink out of an open cup. That has been a goal with the therapist for a long time.
Gracie's cast comes off next week. So excited for her and the fact we can start swim lessons back! They were doing so well until we had to take a break. I look forward to many trips to the pool!
Of course we are still going to the library several times a week. The kids have read over 50 books since June 3rd. I've read 5. Life has been amazing without TV and we very recently got an antenna in the attic so we can get the local news stations. I've really not missed it at all and the kids can still watch a movie every once in a while so they aren't missing it either.
Ricky's summer class is ending next week and a couple days later the next one will start. I'm looking forward to these classes being over so he can have a more manageable schedule. I hate that he is getting around 4 hours of sleep a night. It's not enough and it has to change for his safety! Please say a prayer for him every night. He arrives home at 4am and I usually try to stay up until I hear his truck so I know he has made it home.
This year is passing us by. I hope everyone is living everyday and not allowing the days to just pass by.
