Summer, Summer, Summertime!

I've been talking so much lately about baking so in this post I'll share some exciting photos of the kids and what we've been up to since school got out. Being home with 4 kids is alot of work. I am always trying to maximize the moments with learning, playtime and exercise. It sometimes wears me out trying to keep them on a schedule because I'm constantly saying, "No, not right now" or "We're not doing that today". 

We've got some really good friends out in Kennesaw that we went to swim with this past week. They're moving to Florida soon, so sad! She has three kids and is pregnant with her 4th so needless to say we didn't get to do alot of relaxing girl time but we still had a blast!

This is cutie patootie Ben with preggars mommy in the background.

I had to include this pic of the youngest boss of them all and of course the big brother who always finds a way to show his pearly whites.

Later on in the week, Ray and I decided to try our first Zumba class. I sent a message to a few of her classmates moms to see if they would bring their daughters too. We were both nervous and unsure of exactly what we were signing up for but it turned out to be TOO FUN!! There was some salsa moves, belly dancing moves and a few moves where I was thinking, "Should my daughter be doing that?" All in all, she said she enjoyed it and wanted to go back this weekend. This is her and her classmates that did make it. I had hoped they'd look wiped out but you know they were camera ready!

We finished out the week with a dinner to Maggiano's for Father's Day! We were delayed in getting dressed because it was storming a little outside and the power went out. Can you imagine shining flashlights on yourself in the mirror to make sure your clothes match. Boy aren't we a spoiled generation. Ray took the family pic while we were waiting for our table, I think the Zumba workout had finally kicked in and she was no longer in the cheesing mood.

After we got to our table we realized that Andre 3000 was finishing his meal right next to us. Celebrity moment!! The conversation was good and the food was pretty good too, check out Christy enjoying the onion strings. Hilarious!!

so far...so good!
