▪️Lots of trips to the library. Pros: air-conditioning, easily accessible restrooms and so many books. Cons: the need to be not super loud. 🤦🏻♀️
▪️VBS. Pros: free, Bible-based child care. Cons: an evening program that one of my 4 year olds could not possibly sit through.
▪️Trips to the pool. Pros: Giant inflatables, everybody likes it, and it keeps us cool in the sweltering July heat. Cons: The pizza delivery man has a hard time finding it and always has to call and get directions. #epitomeoffirstworldprobs
▪️Twins at preschool. Pros: They love going (*most days) and are learning a lot each day. Cons: Getting up every morning and having to say goodbye to this year's teacher. 😭
▪️Ice Cream at the new Loblolly Scoops. Pros: They always have six DAIRY-FREE options! And lots of other really great flavors. Cons: Family ice cream night has no cons.
▪️Trip to the Wonder Place. Pros: So many options for playing, and no clean up for me. Cons: Feeling like other parents are judging me for playing on my phone instead of being fully engaged with every moment of my children playing. 😬
▪️Doing a few fireworks. Pros: We always love a good sparkler. Cons: We missed the actual day to do this, but going on safari was worth it. 👊🏻
▪️Trip to the Alligator Farm. Pros: Fun with friends + getting to see and feed animals. Cons: Goats escaping their pen, and me laughing too hard to be able to do anything about it.
