Here’s what we did whereas the children have been dwelling from camp for 2 weeks!

Both boys are wanting so massive and tall as of late!!

Mommy Camp

After we bought dwelling from the seashore, I deliberately saved the boys dwelling from camps for an additional week for a few causes, the highest one being so we may all have per week to only sit back.

I’m grateful that I’m able to work once I need to work and take time without work to be with them once I have to. We had a good time throughout “mommy camp” week.

I requested them for some concepts of actions of what we may do collectively, however as a substitute of itemizing all of the actions, they mentioned they actually simply needed to remain dwelling and play. In this over-scheduled trendy life that we reside in, that’s precisely what we did!

And over the course of the week essentially the most magical factor occurred: they grew to become mates.

While they’ve all the time performed nicely collectively once we journey or sometimes when now we have a 3rd child within the combine, they actually performed this week. It might be the time freedom, however I believe it’s largely that Birch is ready to play extra “big boy” video games – largely Legos! Mazen lastly let Birch maintain a few of his most prized ships (after some classes in how you can maintain them).

By the tip of the second weekend, that they had performed Legos for 4 complete days straight (with just a few breaks for screens and meals!)

Everyone was completely satisfied about it!

Lazy Mornings + Wild Babies + Smoothie Bowls

We all cherished the lazy mornings with nowhere to be. We lounged in robes and slippers.

Birch noticed me consuming a smoothie bowl and was excited to strive one!

I let him eat it on the espresso desk so we may watch Wild Babies on Netflix. We cherished the collection, which was typically not unhappy or too scary (besides when the infant sea turtles get eaten.)

We mentioned a number of life classes the wild animal infants discovered:

Always hearken to your mom
Do not speak to strangers
Stay near dwelling
Lean on trusted adults in your loved ones
Don’t get lost in public

An Extra Camper

We had an additional camper for a day when our cousin Nash joined us! They boys made bubble hair and beards with the Disney wand.

And we went to Kung Fu Tea for a deal with!

Nature Lessons

Lesson #1: don’t get lost at Nona and Grandpa’s home otherwise you may run into the proprietor of this snake pores and skin!!!

We additionally made mates with a pleasant praying mantis!

Physical Fitness

I began doing a little bit packing as we edge nearer to our transfer out date from our rental (first week of August).

We visited a playground….

…and did this superior HIIT exercise from YouTube since Birch had a meltdown at ACAC Kidszone the day earlier than. I LOVED this format! (And additionally miss having a Peloton at dwelling sooooo a lot).

Oh and there was pool time!!!

Rest Time

And relaxation time after taking part in too onerous.

The Entertainment

When I wanted a break, the leisure arrived after his workday.

I went out with mates for pina coladas at Tonic.

And took Lauren out for her birthday <3

Field Trip

We did have one essential discipline journey I strategically scheduled: the dentist! As typical I held my breath and the boys had a cavity-free go to. Locals we love our dentist – Charlottesville Pediatric Dentistry. They’re so good with the boys.

Afterwards we glided by Target for just a few provides, and I went loopy wanting on the organizing bins.

We additionally glided by Bricks + Minifigs for just a few Lego equipment, together with a Darth Vader helmet that was misplaced on the pool (oops). The retailer is owned by my good friend Nick, and so they buy-sell-trade all issues Lego!
