Summering

I took Sloane, Bear, and Esme, to see Toy Story 5 today. Super cute movie. I loved the message and the kids were inspired to play more. On the drive home, they said how lucky they are to have each other because they always have a friend to play with. The kids in the movie were all single children. My littles have been fighting with each other a lot lately, so it was nice to hear them acknowledge what a blessing they are to each other. 
 

Esme is such a little foodie. I love her taste. Today’s avocado toast was on sourdough with cottage cheese and a citrus everything blend topping. Yes ma’am. 

Quincy was given a Korean name by some members. 

This is a really big deal. Receiving a Korean name from locals is an act of cultural acceptance, inclusion, and respect. I am not surprised at all that even though Quincy has a communication barrier where she is lacking in language fluency, she is finding ways to connect and be adored by the members. And her name is the cutest of cutes! 

Reese and Logan with Ammon and the Abernathy brothers visiting from Kuwait at SDC. 

Logan and I had a lil’ thrifting date one evening. He almost bought matchie flannels for him and Aaron to “redneckify” (crop, remove sleeves, fray edges) for the Post Malone concert. I think he should’ve done it just for the plot. Would Aaron be on board? We both have our bets. 😂

The triplets and I are taking ukulele lessons together this summer from Papa Steve in Bella Vista. They come home and play cute campfire songs. I need to look up uke tabs for primary songs, I think they’re available online. Sloane is really taking off in chord progression skill. This has been a fun thing to do together. 

I’m currently learning to play The Maze by Manchester Orchestra.  

Metfield pool. The (mostly) stress free pool days I always dreamed about have finally arrived. I could read a book while the kids swim if I wanted to! I mean, I haven’t yet, and instead have been IN the pool with the kids…but knowing it’s an option makes me me feel like I’ve really arrived or something 😂
