Free Slurpee Day

Took the girls to get free slurpees at 7-Eleven on 7/11:

The girls definitely love sweet treats! Riley was thrilled to get her very own - she doesn't like to share. This was our first time getting free slurpees. It was really easy! No line, just walked into 7-Eleven and a worker is standing by the slurpee machine with the small cups asking, "What flavor?". We can make this an annual tradition. =)

Summer Days

This summer we're trying to keep a balance of planned and unplanned activities. One of Riley and Jayden's favorite "unplanned activity" is going to the park. Riley loves the swings. Unfortunately for me she loves to try every one of them. She likes to swing on each one for a good two minutes.

Riley is also a dare devil. I have to keep a close eye on her because she'll climb anything...

One of our "planned activities" is ballet/tap class for Jayden once a week. She loves her little leotard/tights outfit and has a ball in the shoes. I told her to strike a ballet pose before we headed out to her first lesson~

Riley wanted to pose too~

To celebrate her first dance lesson (which she listened and participated really well) we got frozen yogurt. We did not get anything after her second lesson when she decided that she was not going to listen to the teacher....walked slowly to get in line, not bending her knees, or walking the right direction, etc. She loves to know what her boundaries/consequences are~
