Saya was sick with a stomach bug for a few days last week
Thankfully she was well enough to go on her zoo field trip. It was such a fun day and she would have been devastated if she had to miss it.
It is starting to feel like summer. I bought these very inexpensive popsicle molds from ikea. Sometimes cheap things suck, but I love these and we always have popsicles in our freezer now. I made a batch today of watermelon and strawberry.
Also from ikea…a bag of colorful straws. I love using straws to drink water, I’m not sure why. We also cut them up into pieces and used them to make necklaces and bracelets
BIG NEWS! We took the training wheels off of Saya’s bike over the weekend. On Friday we were at a friend’s house for dinner. We took their kids’ bikes across the street to some tennis courts and Saya wanted to try riding with no training wheels. I actually had to run back to the house for something, and when I was walking back to the tennis courts I saw her zipping around on her own! Needless to say, she is over the moon excited about this. We have been biking every day since. Now that the days are longer, there is plenty of daylight for after dinner bike rides. She is so cute and confident on her bike now, I just love it.
I was on the fence about growing vegetables this year. I love having fresh veggies to pick for dinner, but I am just not the biggest fan of gardening or yard work, and there is always so much to do. In the end I decided to plant a few things–tomatoes, herbs, lettuce, kale, and squash. Saya came with me to the garden center and I let her pick out some flowers to plant.
Saya brought this home from school today for me. I think it was supposed to be a mother’s day gift, but I guess she was sick on the day they brought them home. I love how the pot is covered in glitter
I am finally getting around to finishing up some things for an etsy shop update. I have listed some things already, but I will be adding more tomorrow.
Things have been good lately. We are all getting excited about summer. Saya only has 10 days left of kindergarten. Unbelievable!
After she gets out of school we are planning a camping trip to somewhere in west virginia. Any recommendations, let me know!
