We're about 6 weeks into our Summer Break, with about a month left to go. It's been a bit of an adjustment for both Mason and me - we're both used to the structure and routine of the regular school year. I admit there have been some times that have been exceptionally difficult, like when we're stuck in our tiny house when it's 105 outside, but overall I am really enjoying my time with my little man. I've made it my goal to find something to do every day, and I've done a pretty good job. Here's a photo recap of some of the things we've done in the last couple of weeks.
We participated in "Cow Appreciation Day" at Chick-fil-A and got free meals just for dressing up! I don't mind making a fool of myself for free food!
Mason wanted to see the cow SOOO bad, but of course, as soon as we got close he flipped out.
After eating our free chicken, we got to play for a bit...
Mason's new favorite thing is Toy Story. He has watched all three movies multiple times - it's the only time he'll EVER sit still!
We've been to the mall a couple of times to play inside when it's just too hot outside.
And of course the splash pad is one of our favorites - cold water and free make it pretty awesome.
This weekend, we went to Whistle Stop. We had to go early in the morning to avoid the heat, and we were the only ones there. It was very nice!
I have enjoyed this free time with Mason so much. It will be hard to go back to work knowing that we won't be together nearly as often. But, I know that quality time is more important than the quantity of time, so we'll just make sure to enjoy the time we do have together!
And here's one last picture of my little boy, just because he's so handsome!
