June 10 - Fairy Princess

rare pic of Luke..he hates pics these days

Summer is officially here! Our morning schedule is a tad crazy but we're making it work. Luke has swim practice from 7.30-8.30 and Julia has practice from 8.30-9.30am. When JD is in town, I take Luke to practice (Laptop in town so I can start working) while JD drops Julia off on his way to take Jillian to daycare. Last week and this week are a tad hectic as JD has been out of town and getting Jillian up an all the kids out the door by 7.20am has been a tad challenging but doable. I load everyone in, drop Luke off, drop Jillian off, drive back to the pool, work, and then head back when the big kids are done. Julia and Luke are both reading every morning and doing a few pages in math workbooks (Julia is also doing 30min of typing every day) and then they are allowed to watch TV, etc. 

So what has Jillian been up to lately? Well, she's obsessed with princesses, dressing like a princess, calling herself a princess and Sophia the First. Oh-and she's figured out we have popsicles in the outside freezer and knows how to help herself. Little stinker! We went out to dinner this weekend and she told me she needed to go to the bathroom. I took her...and she wanted to go to the bathroom so she could DANCE and watch herself in the mirror. She is really funny! We were at the grocery store this weekend and she stopped in front of the makeup brushes:

"Jillian, let's go. We need to go to the milk aisle." - Julia

"Julia, no, I am just looking at these!" - Jillian, with hand on her hip
