Countdown to school...

I love being a mom and finding ways to make my girls happy (challenging at times and no our life isn't always perfect and we have some things we can always improve on but we strive to make the most and find ways to make each day great and learn from what went wrong) so with this being Adelynn's "first" summer vacation, I tried to make the most of doing things together from family hikes to 7 peaks to visiting the large amount of family we have to playing at the park to enjoying lazy days at home to birthdays/holidays to swimming to BBQ's to playing with cousins/neighbor friends to parades/city days to homework/art projects to cooking/baking to much more I am sure I am not even thinking of (next summer I hope to do more as our littler ones will be a little older).

As the summer was coming to an end and I was losing my little girl to yet another year of school/learning/fun...I wanted to do a 7 day countdown because lets be honest, this little girl started the summer out sad to be out of school because she LOVED it and was going to miss her teachers and her friends and was even nervous about going to first grade where she would be at school all day to the end of summer her talking non-stop and asking non-stop how much longer until school started and that she couldn't wait for this or that and eating lunch at school was gonna be so fun to etc, etc, etc... (this mom was quite sad that I wouldn't have my mini me half day with but happy she loved school so much)  This is what we ended up doing (although there was more I wanted to do it was just harder with littler ones at home...next summer countdown we will do more)
