Kaitlyn

I was painting all day and Wade was in charge of the kids. He was super Dad and pulled out the waterslide to keep them entertained.

Evidently Kaitlyn was the big winner at the ending games today at Gymnastics camp and came home with an alligator pool float.

It’s a Thursday.

Kaitlyn’s request for summer was a gymnastics class. This week she is doing half-days gymnastics camp all week.

Kaitlyn doesn’t often make her own lunch – but she will take charge when it comes to a pb&j.

Birthday party!

These two played hide-n-seek in this box all afternoon.

It’s rather difficult to get a natural smile these days.

Friends are here!

Another pool day. More jumping.

Kaitlyn realized what Ben had done and immediately worked up the courage to jump off the high dive too. Of course she loved it and spent the rest of the day in the deep end jumping.

This was Kaitlyn’s first year swimming in the deep end without a float. She was awesome.

Working hard on birthday thank you notes.

Bedtime calendar checking.

We measured Kaitlyn today on our growth chart. We were all amused that she did managed to eek above Teague’s 6 year mark, but not quite either of the boys’ 7 year marks. The current bet is she might be the shortest one in the long run!

The first time we were at this beach, Kaitlyn lost a diving toy in the sand. It’s now low tide and she is desperately searching for it.

This is when we were still hopeful the sun would appear.

Beach day!

We have immediately fallen in love with Cape Cod.

Lake time.

Kaitlyn was so excited to empty out the furniture in her LOL dollhouse and replace it with my old dollhouse furniture she found in the barn.

Kaitlyn spent the day with a renewed interest in her “All About Me” book. My favorite was when she had to count all the forks in the house.

Even without school, mornings can be rough.

Elsa has arrived!
