Lunch on the Deck

Finally, a beautiful day!! Camilla was outside on the deck playing at 8:00am this morning. She couldn't wait to get out in the glorious sunshine and play under the blue blue sky. Every time I look at pictures of her, I can't help but think about how fast time is going by! She looks so grown up in all of her summer pictures this year and I'm starting to miss my chubby fingered, toothless little girl! She is oh so much fun though. I love the sweet things she says and I love her imagination!

We ate lunch out on the deck today just to make sure we are soaking up every ounce of sun before the rain comes again. It was a lot of fun to be with the kiddos. We were missing Daddy a lot though! This picture of my kiddos and I is my new favorite! I love being at home and being able to spend time with them all day long. They bring me such joy!

After lunch we went to the park. It was really fun, except that Camilla was tired and it was nap time. We stayed for a good hour, most of which Camilla enjoyed the swings. "Higher Mommy, higher!" is all I heard. After the park we came home for a snack and naps. We enjoyed strawberries and sugar out on the deck. The rays of the sun shining through the leaves and casting a slight shadow on the back deck. The cool breeze made it just perfect!

Camilla is super testing my patience this afternoon. She dumped a whole glass of water on the kitchen floor and then started splashing in it. We had a chat and cleaned it up. Not even five minutes later, her chocolate milk was dumped on the floor, purposely, right in front of me. After that, I decided it was definitely nap time, and we went up and read a story.

The rain filled up all of Camilla's sand buckets to the brim. I think we'll go splash around and play with them when she wakes up! Now that my little boy is asleep, I think I might go close my eyes on the couch for a while!
