We had such a fantastic 4th of July weekend; love those four-day weekends! On Friday we just hung out at home and relaxed, but on Saturday we went to Sandy Beach in Lake Mills. We all had so much fun; we spent over three hours there and could have stayed longer if it wasn't for naptime! Kate & I loved splashing and swimming in the water together, and she and Dan had fun building a sandcastle together (although, let's face it, he did most of the work!) Then that night we went over to Bianca's house for dinner; Kate has so much fun with her, it's so cute to see them play together. Kate found a baby toy there (Bianca has a little sister who is almost two) and now she always tells my stomach, "Baby! I have a toy for you the next time we go to Bi-nac-ia's [her pronunciation] house! You're going to love it!" It's so cute to see how excited she is about her sibling.
On Sunday we just kind of lazed around, cleaned up downstairs, and spent the evening in our pool. Today, Kate & I had a fun morning at the library playing, doing puzzles, and picking out new books (she is doing so well on her "Dig Into Reading" Summer Challenge; she is already 75% of the way through. I'm so glad we have a child who loves to read!) and then we went to a nearby coffee shop for lunch and read some more. I just love being with her; she is such a fun, sweet, smart little girl, and I love the conversations we have together. Cuddling together on the couch in the coffee shop and reading book after book together is pretty much my idea of heaven. I'm so lucky I get to spend my days with her! Now she's napping so I'm getting some work done, and then we'll head to the gym and then our pool.
