Sounds delightful! I think I'm loving the break from school as much as my kids are :)
Was on a weekend with my husband recently and decided that when we have grandchildren someday, there will be an "ice cream for dinner" day at our house once in awhile.
Really enjoy your blog. Looking forward to hearing more about the new additions.
Was recently on a weekend away with my husband and decided that when (if) we have grandchildren someday, there WILL be an "ice cream for dinner" once in awhile. Wish I had done it for my kids.
Love your blog, such a sweet family! Can't wait to hear all about the new additions.
