Saturday

Ok, this post is a little delayed, but oh well. This is what last Saturday looked like for us, and what most of our Saturdays have looked like this spring.

It began with ballet for Sydney at 9:00 am. Then a visit to the Western Wake Farmer's Market to pick up eggs and a few veggies. Both kids got a free flower from one of our favorite farmers. They were so excited to carry them around. Then they got free face painting and danced to the live music. Pierce just got his hand painted (which required less patience!), but he was SO proud of it.





Then we hit the library to switch out our week's books. We're doing a theme each week this summer (to help ward off summer boredom and the misbehavior that comes with it). Last week was "Dinosaurs" and this week is"Food and Cooking". The kids have had fun with the weekly themes and we have stumbled upon some great reads that we would have never checked out otherwise. We've also been doing crafts and activities related to our themes. I highly recommend it to any parents out there looking to give a little structure and interest to their summer without having to pay for expensive camps every week.

After lunch and nap time it was time for Sydney's final soccer game of the season. She has really enjoyed playing soccer in our neighborhood league.


Score!


Pierce enjoyed cheering his sister on. He's ready to join the team as soon as they'll let him!


Water break!


We ended the night with a good meal and brownies and ice cream for dessert on the back porch!
