Rinse and Repeat

How is it already Thursday? So excited that the weekend starts tomorrow!! I always have grand plans for making pinterest styled memories for the girls when I'm home on the weekends, but truth be told if we're able to play outside a while, find enough food in the house to slap together a semi healthy meal, bathe, and make it to church on Sunday morning I'm going to mark that down as a win. Because lets face it, if you want to raise littles that are silly, honest, and kind, Martha worthy crafts and food isn't going to get you there, so I try not to beat myself up over not being able to make mermaid shaped pancake painted with edible paint ;) I do try and live in the moment with my girls. We sing, color, dance, and pretend like crazy!

The weekend was fleeting but great. Saturday was a milder August day so we decided to load the girls up and head to the zoo. Elle's favorite part of the zoo is always the monkeys. I can't decide what Wren likes the most yet. The highlight for me was staring at a crocodile. I said how much I thought it looked just like a dinosaur. Elle responded "Well, Mama, it's not a dinosaur. It's a crocodile!" I love my little smartie! I hope her love for all animals continues throughout her life.

The rest of the week has been a blur. Wake up, go to work, come home, feed kids, bathe kids, rinse and repeat. 

Today was such a cool day for August, we played outside for a while at my in-laws enjoying the cooler weather!

How do you make the most of your time with your littles?
