We've been on break for about a week and a half now and I'm loving it. We have to leave at 7:30am to get Ingrid to school on time, so it was always rush, rush, rush. Now we have the best mornings, we have nowhere to go, we get to hang out and be lazy if we so desire. Otis has been sleeping in until after 7, which is great, except next fall school starts even earlier! I guess the bell will ring at 7:20 instead of 7:40. UGH.
We have a summer list full of parks, museums and local activities. So far we've done the museum,
Chill on the Hill, the wading pool, parks, and of course, gardening. Keeping busy! One activity a day, even if it's just going to the park.
I have also started the Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred video. Whew! I've gained about 30lbs in the last year for some reason, so I have to kick my ass in gear and get some more exercise. I am not a video exerciser, normally. But a few people had mentioned doing it and loving it, and I thought for $8 and some 3lb weights I might as well try it, right? It's awesome! The thing I love is that Ingrid loves watching it with me for some reason, so she's my biggest cheerleader! As soon as I've had a couple cups of coffee she says "Okay, mama, time to shred!" Honestly, I need that, since I would otherwise get lazy. I'm also doing some sort of post on Instagram after I do it so I keep a log of it. Even if no one else is seeing it, I feel like I have to do it to keep myself motivated.
Otis has been sick and crabby the past couple days though, so I am worn out. Mentally tired of dealing with his mood swings and crying. Physically tired from him wanting to be cuddled and carried all the time. Please, don't let your kids get Hand Foot and Mouth disease! It sucks.
Next week is another week of whatever, and then we have a fun filled weekend for the Fourth of July and cousins and the cottage and I have another craft show! The
Maker Market is July 7th, I'm getting ready for it and looking forward to hopefully not a really hot day! Last year I did an
outdoor show in July and it was like a hundred degrees. Ugh. I'm happy it's in the parking lot of a coffee shop, I foresee a LOT of iced coffee in my future.
What are you up to this summer???

Header #5,678 is really cute! But, I've always said those kids are adorable.
Good for you doing The Shred. I've gained about a thousand pounds this year too...although I know exactly why. I'm old, eat cookies and well, the house fire and moving literally six time this year didn't help.
MIL in coming from Italy, I hope we get to the coast for some beach time AND we've got the bigger house closing next week. You guys need to come down some time!
Good luck on the video!! YAY to Ingrid for being such an awesome cheerleader. :)
