Right here’s what we did whereas the youngsters have been residence from camp for 2 weeks!

Each boys are wanting so massive and tall nowadays!!

Mommy Camp

After we acquired residence from the seaside, I deliberately stored the boys residence from camps for one more week for a few causes, the highest one being so we may all have per week to only sit back.

I’m grateful that I’m able to work once I need to work and take time without work to be with them once I must. We had a good time throughout “mommy camp” week.

I requested them for some concepts of actions of what we may do collectively, however as an alternative of itemizing all of the actions, they mentioned they actually simply needed to remain residence and play. On this over-scheduled trendy life that we stay in, that’s precisely what we did!

And over the course of the week probably the most magical factor occurred: they turned buddies.

Whereas they’ve at all times performed nicely collectively after we journey or often when we’ve a 3rd child within the combine, they actually performed this week. It could possibly be the time freedom, however I feel it’s largely that Birch is ready to play extra “massive boy” video games – largely Legos! Mazen lastly let Birch maintain a few of his most prized ships (after some classes in the way to maintain them).

By the tip of the second weekend, that they had performed Legos for 4 complete days straight (with just a few breaks for screens and meals!)

Everybody was blissful about it!

Lazy Mornings + Wild Infants + Smoothie Bowls

All of us liked the lazy mornings with nowhere to be. We lounged in robes and slippers.

Birch noticed me consuming a smoothie bowl and was excited to attempt one!

I let him eat it on the espresso desk so we may watch Wild Infants on Netflix. We liked the collection, which was typically not unhappy or too scary (besides when the newborn sea turtles get eaten.)

We mentioned a lot of life classes the wild animal infants discovered:

All the time take heed to your mom
Don’t discuss to strangers
Keep near residence
Lean on trusted adults in your loved ones
Don’t wander away in public

An Additional Camper

We had an additional camper for a day when our cousin Nash joined us! They boys made bubble hair and beards with the Disney wand.

Nature Classes

Lesson number one: don’t wander away at Nona and Grandpa’s home otherwise you may run into the proprietor of this snake pores and skin!!!

We additionally made buddies with a pleasant praying mantis!

Bodily Health

I began doing somewhat packing as we edge nearer to our transfer out date from our rental (first week of August).

We visited a playground….

Oh and there was pool time!!!

Relaxation Time

And relaxation time after enjoying too exhausting.

The Leisure

After I wanted a break, the leisure arrived after his workday.

I went out with buddies for pina coladas at Tonic.

Subject Journey

We did have one essential discipline journey I strategically scheduled: the dentist! As standard I held my breath and the boys had a cavity-free go to. Locals we love our dentist – Charlottesville Pediatric Dentistry. They’re so good with the boys.

Afterwards we glided by Goal for just a few provides, and I went loopy wanting on the organizing bins.

We additionally glided by Bricks + Minifigs for just a few Lego equipment, together with a Darth Vader helmet that was misplaced on the pool (oops). The shop is owned by my pal Nick, and so they buy-sell-trade all issues Lego!
