Summer Enrichment Program is nearing the end

Tomorrow is the last day of Carli's Summer Enrichment Program. While I'm glad it's over and I finally get to sleep in (yeah, right) I'm also sad for Carli because she will not being seeing her BFF Sierra every day. However, her mother and I have decided to schedule playdates for the girls during the summer and school year.

I think this is a great idea and maybe we can even meet at Tempe Water Park - I can get there by bus and its free, which Alice might appreciate. Anyway, I guess this is about it for this blog so I'll go for now.

Tuesday Musings

It's Tuesday and Carli has two more days left at Summer School. I know she's going to be sad when it is over, because she has learned so much and has done really well adjusting to getting up early and getting ready pretty much on time.

Her best friend Sierra has been a great source of comfort, not that she needs comforting, but they get along so well her mom and I are planning playdates for them during the remaining time this summer and even during the school year.

I think it will be good for both of them, because they don't go to the same school and they have forged such a friendship that both Alice and I would hate to see this friendship dissolve before it really has a chance to get off the ground.

So, I will make every effort to keep the playdates scheduled and do what is necessary to make sure these two girls stay friends for as long as possible.

Father's Day & Last week of Summer Enrichment Program

So today is special for two reasons: It's Father's Day and it's the first day of Summer. Although here in AZ who would really notice it's the first day of Summer? I mean we're lucky when the temperature is under 120 degrees. Actually, I feel very blessed to live in a state where there are 365 days of sunshine. So what if the temp is over 100? If I'm indoors where it's air conditioned I don't give a hoot what it's like outside as long as I don't have to be out in it for more than about 20 minutes. Unless I have ice tea or any type of drink that has ice in it, I'm good. So onto Father's Day - James was lucky today. I made our usual Sunday breakfast and did a pretty good job at it. He liked it and that's what matters most. Carli requested I make his breakfast in a smiley face just like we do for her. James thought it was pretty cool. What a dad.

Carli starts her last week of Summer Enrichment Program tomorrow and I don't know how she's going to feel about it exactly. I'm certain she'll miss her BFF Sierra and I guess I'd better take some more pictures of the two of them this week, if I can. Although Sierra's mom and I are now friends on Facebook and the girls can chat with each other provided we're on at the same time. On July 6th Carli will be attending her first Summer Camp through the 4H. That should be exciting. She'll be going on field trips - to where exactly - I don't know yet. I haven't received any information on it and when I do of course I'll blog all about it.
