Skits and Sun

Afternoon everyone. Should be able to get through this one quickly. Summer has officially arrived with nice and toasty temps. Awesome! Wednesday, Mia and I had the best time playing outside after school while Jill unfortunately had a very late night at work. We played soccer at the park, and had an early dinner with Jill (before she went off to a dance academy for the evening) and did some art. She was pretty tired so without much of a fuss, she crashed close to 9pm. As much as we enjoy family time, I do enjoy a little one on one with Mia. We rarely get moments when we're not trying to rush out the door to school so hanging out on my day off is nice.

I stupidly forgot to take off on Friday for the Torrent game, but they didn't need me there to watch them destroy Indy 5-0. First win of the season. Great job Blues! Friday was a busy and fun day. Mia's grade did little skits about Very Important People in history. She played Johnny Appleseed's kid and a narrator. Despite the microphone being a bit far from her, she did well as well as the other kids. Some of them memorized their lines really really well and were adorable. After wards, she showed all of us her classroom, picked out some books from the Book Fair and we did Hot Dog Day outside. It was a tad warm for some, but overall a really fun day. Later, I worked till 10.

Yesterday, we went to our friend Christina's baby's 1st birthday party. Penelope is the cutest little kid and despite the warm weather, everyone had fun. Jill made some really great pineapple shaped macarons that everyone enjoyed. Mia played with Arabella and a little girl named Camilla. They enjoyed launching rockets, tossing bags and playing on the swings. Later, they did a "Girls Night" with my Mom, Auntie Ashley and of course Jill. They went out to sushi while my Dad and I hung out at home.

Today, they're on their way to Camden's 4th Birthday Party while I prepare for another fun day at work. This week is a short one. No school for Mia on Monday, I'm helping my buddy move on Wed and we've got a field trip on Friday. I'll also be taking my Dad to the Torrent vs Kalamazoo match. The women's team played yesterday and pulled off a 2-2 draw on a hot day in Minnesota.

That's all for now, thanks for reading!
