First Week of Summer

Have I said already that I love summer? Having all of this time at home with Cade is so special, and we are very lucky that Chance is still able to be home in the afternoons and evenings with us even with all of his extra work responsibilities.

Here's what we've been up to:

Day one of summer vacation, 8:20 am - Cade emptied the 4 largest toy buckets in his room. Why? So he could line them up to "walk the plank".



Tuesday - Summer Movie Clubhouse - How to Train Your Dragon! Cade's favorite movie on a huge screen! For $1!



Cade has been asking for a "super big dinosaur" ever since we saw one at my friend Jennifer's house in April. I finally caved and bought one for him on Thursday. The big dino's feet inspired us to make dino tracks with paint in the living room.





Everyone loves the big dino, even Sarge!



On Friday, we met Kelsey and Natalie at King's Orchard to pick blueberries. It was about 10,000 degrees outside, but we had a great time with our friends! This is the only picture I have of Cade actually picking blueberries.



He preferred to eat them.



Once he found out that he wasn't supposed to eat them, the rest of our time there went like this:
Cade: Mama, can I throw this stick?
Mama: No, Cade, please do not throw that stick.
Cade: Natalie, want to throw sticks with me?
Natalie: No, Cade, I am picking blueberries.
Cade: I want to go home.



Miss Sass with her blueberries!



We ended the day with a picnic lunch in the shade!



On Saturday, we went to Nana and Papa's house to celebrate Chance's birthday. Cade had lots of fun in Papa's shop using the air hose to spray away sawdust.



He also made a little balance beam for himself with spare boards.



Nana made a delicious dinner and chocolate pie for Chance's birthday! Happy birthday, Chance!!
