Happy SUMMER! Y’all I’m beyond excited that the boys are done with the school year! The last couple of weeks have been crazy busy and I have like 5 blog posts that have gotten started and never finished. I’m happy to get into our Summer routine, get back to meal planning and make a pile of memories! Welcome Summer!
Let’s first point out that I made these boards at 1:30am the night before the last day, showing why 2/3 of them show the wrong year. What in the world. Haha.
We grabbed a few fun summer things to celebrate, including the popular reusable water balloons! They are so stinking fun.
We celebrated with a homemade pizza night! I use the same dough as my cinnamon buns, then we roll out into small size pizzas and grill for 2ish minutes/side. Once they’re in, add toppings and bake at 500 until the cheese is all melty! It’s by far the quickest and easiest pizza making we’ve tried. We did some plain cheese, pepperoni and pineapple, veggie, BBQ chicken and buffalo chicken with pickles and ranch swirl at the end. I had to limit myself since it was the first cheese I’ve had since my gallbladder surgery, but thankfully it was all good!
We walked to baseball Saturday morning, then had a pool party in the afternoon. I forgot my phone and it was rather lovely to be disconnected for a couple hours! But, I did forget to take a pic of the food I brought! I brought this red, white and blue berry salad that I shared last Summer. It’s so easy and always a hit! I also made chocolate chip cookies stuffed with Oreos that lasted about 4 minutes once we got to the party! The pile of wild boys had belly flop contests until their faces and stomachs were literally red!
Sunday we did plenty of cleaning up the house and getting prepped for some summer chores starting soon. I shared our drink fridge and had tons of questions about it! It is Gladiator Garage Works by Whirlpool. It has a cool pedal you can step on to open it when your hands are full!
Both weekend nights ended in family movies and literally the whole gang asleep on the couch. I’m so happy that they’re able to stay up late and sleep in a bit! Now I need to get myself into the habit of waking early to be productive before they’re up!
Hope you all have a wonderful week!
