Based on this blog, it may appear that we’re constantly traveling somewhere. The truth is, we’re actually homebodies more often than most people would think. With the girls in elementary school this year, we’re much more cautious about taking them away from their regular lessons in the classroom. That’s not to say we haven’t been guilty of that, but we try to refrain from it. Our travels usually fall on the weekends, or on the school’s vacation schedule. In between the travels, our lives are pretty routine, with a bit of spice to it…you know, 6 year old girls are all about adding creativity to every facet of life!
We eat at home most days, and the girls sometimes help with the preparations….such as the case with these homemade meatballs 🙂Game nights are big at our house, from Memory game to Pick Up Stix, to Uno and more!Everyday, I get surprise drawings on my desk, on my bed, in the bathroom…..everywhere. The girls love to draw, and I adore their creativityHomework assignments are a part of our daily routine now…Our darling neighbor Elena often surprises us with home baked goods!We love riding our bikes to and from school and stopping to see the geese, snails, rabbits, and dandelionsThe 100th day of school is a big deal and calls for 100 popcorn glued onto a piece of paper 🙂Playdates happen less frequently these days, but Bridgette loves any and every opportunity to see the friends that she’s known since birthThe girls love fixing each other’s hair, and do a pretty good job at that!Impromptu picnics in our backyard with neighbors mean opportunities to clean out our fridge!The girls have begun a weekly gymnastics class which they absolutely LOVEEveryday, new forts are being built inside our homeCozy sleepovers have migrated from the bedroom to the living room tent. Our house is getting smaller by the day…. 🙂Like our fancy wall decor that’s taking over our home by storm? I think it’s quite lovely! 🙂
I can’t quite remember what life was like before Brianne and Bridgette came along. We must have had a lot of free time, uninterrupted conversations, and a clean, nice looking home. But, I bet our lives weren’t nearly as interesting as it is now…. 🙂
