It started out rough, but turned out being a fun-filled family day.
K woke up feeling a little emo so we decided to skip out on school and keep her home with us. The hubby is home for the summer (much needed teacher break), and it sure has been nice to have an extra set of hands around the house. He made us breakfast, which was a nice little change from either eating nothing or the piece of buttered toast I usually have.
The morning rain made it difficult to get up and moving, but we finally decided to go to the library for some reading and play time. We ended up at Emily Fowler and it was actually the first time K had been to that branch. The children's section is super cute and she loved playing with the blocks and putting together an underwater floor puzzle.
She is focusing hard on this puzzle
She usually has a hard time when it is time to leave, but surprisingly, she cleaned up and took her book over to the counter to check it out. She chose Eric Carle's, The Artist Who Painted A Blue Horse. One of my favorites.
Later that day, after we realized she was not going to take a nap, we decided to go to the park. Yes, two outings in one day. I promise I only had one cup of coffee this morning. I was having one of those overly energized days.
We went to the red park over by our house and K met a little friend. He was super cute and wanted to tell K all about what he could do on the playground. They chased each other some and took turns sliding.

Having fun swinging with Daddy and baby brother
We ended the evening by making our first apple pie and homemade ice cream. I recruited K to help and she loved every second of it. I used a simple recipe I found online. Really, I was looking for an ingredients list that matched what I had in the pantry.
It turned out tasting pretty delicious.
Well, that friends, is all she wrote. The babies are asleep and I think it's time to cuddle up and watch a movie before my ten o'clock bedtime. Here's to hoping I wake up with the same energy tomorrow.
