Carefree Lazy Days ... and the Photo to Prove it! Vol.4

Oops, I missed posting Carefree Lazy Days of Summer yesterday... so let me just get on with it.

The week pictured here was very low-key, lazy and carefree. We spent one, not so sunny day, on all things crafty ... the highlight was finally getting around to using these cool Soap Making Lab Kits that we purchased on our Spring Break vacation to Mystic CT.

E's was a glittery, scented, pretty soap making kit. And K's was a practical joke soap kit ... with brains and eyeballs and all things gross.

The kids had fun running through the trails behind out house (way cool trials that Dad made for them ... that wind all through the woods and lead to secret hide-outs) and catching butterflies and moths. They caught about five that afternoon! Of course we let them go a few hours later.
We had lots of dinners outdoors and played games with Dad.

We chased down the Ice Cream Truck for Icees.

And of course spent time in the pool.

I taught E about Raft Races. Now everyone that swims is subject to at least one race with her.
Relaxing, lazy and carefree!

Summer Shots

Hard to believe it is August already. What a summer. It's been hot and sunny most of the time. No complaints here. The kids each have one more week of camp (hockey and soccer) to look forward to. And in 5 short weeks ... they will be back for another school year.

Here's a layout with photos taken on the very first day of summer vacation. She's just a little happy, don't you think!?

Carefree Lazy Days ... and the photos to prove it! Vol. 3


I have another set of lazy summer photos to share. The week shown here was filled with more boardwalk, crabbing and the aquarium. (When you live on the east coast, it wouldn't be summer without those things, right?) It was filled with mornings sleeping in (and the kids' making their own breakfasts, oh yeah!), late game nights with yummy desserts, pool time with friends and finding bugs.

A lazy, carefree summer week to remember alright!










Oh yeah, and the awesome cute (Faux)laroid frames are by Nisa of {Splendid Fiins}. Get them here.

Carefree Lazy Days ... and the Photos to Prove it! Vol 2.






Hey there! I've decided to put together some favorite photos showcasing our carefree lazy days of summer each week. So every Thursday I'll put these up using Nisa's (Faux)laroids. Remember many of these are taken with my crummy iphone camera so don't judge the photo quality too harshly! ;)



These photos highlight a week spent at the beach, the boardwalk, crabbing, Poolside BBQs and lots of wheels!










That's it for now!
