A most excellent start to Summer 2012


Yesterday was my first day of summer vacation and I was awakened at 9:00 (!!) by my  breakfast elves who were hard at work on blueberry/blackberry pancakes.  A truly outstanding way to kick off the first day of summer!
I started my summer craft project #1.  Very seasonally appropriate.
Little Miss wanted to get in on the crafty fun and started her first cross-stitch project.  I'm not sure that needlework with one's eyes closed is a safe technique, but the craft-fu is strong in this young one.
I'm always happy to see Molly's birthday roll around on the calendar because it usually coincides with the start of summer!  After a multi-generational trip to Walmart so Little Miss could spend her end-of-school gift card from Papa, we treated the birthday girl to lunch at Pizza Hut.  There is no end to the elegance of our daily lives, truly.
We kept up the feeding of the birthday girl at dinner.  Loverboy made his super delicious cheese fondue.  After the dunking, Little Miss wanted to play games.  Molly started to beg off when Little Miss announced she was going to get Candy Land, but when she back into the kitchen with the bingo game...well, Molly's never one to turn down a bingo game!  Note she is also sporting the one-of-a-kind shrinky-dink necklace Little Miss gifted her with. 

A birthday, Walmart, pizza, fondue, bingo...we are off to a fabulous start this summer!
