The White Family: Summah Time!

So Monday marked my first official day of summer vacation, I had classes the week before. Somehow I am more exhausted this week than last week! Watching that Connor boy all week on my own was not easy! The kid has endless amounts of energy. Ronnie drove to Western everyday this week to finish up his summer term and I sure did miss him and his help. So to pass the time I tried to get some activities so that Connor and I wouldn't drive each other crazy!

Monday was very low key, we just stayed at home and relaxed. On Tuesday we went to story time at the Wilsonville Library. It was really cute! It was our first time going, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. They read three books and in between each book we sang a song. Connor wandered around the whole time checking out the other kids and trying to take the book away from the storyteller. He did really enjoy the songs and he interacted well with the other little kids, which isn't always the case from my short tempered boy :) I plan on trying to make story time a weekly thing.

Thursday and Friday were fun, (maybe more for mommy than Connor) because on Thursday Kelly and Kalaya visited on and Friday Heather and baby Josie visited. I really talked up Kalaya's visit to Connor and told him she was going to come over and they were going to play together and Connor was going to share his toys. So we met them for lunch at Chipotle and Connor right away went to go give Kalaya a hug. However, wweet Kalaya was not ready to give Connor a hug! Denied! We had a nice lunch and then went to our house. Connor did really well the first 45 minutes Kalaya was there sharing his toys, but after that he was like "She is still here?" And then everything was "EEEEEEE, mine!" Ughh, I hate that phrase. Hopefully he will stop that soon. But they did end their playdate with a sweet hug and kiss. :)

Friday was easier for Connor because, well, Baby Josie doesn't do a whole lot since she is only four months old. Auntie Heather brought over a wading pool and Connor really enjoyed that and Heather and I enjoyed catching up and cooing at sweet Baby Josie.

So all in all, a successful, albiet tiring, first week of summer. Lucky for us, Daddy will be home with us from now on so we can really start going out on adventures!

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy of our summer thus far!
