This week was another busy one and I’m honestly looking forward to not having as much to do over the next 2 weeks. Even though we still have some plans on our calendar and friends coming to visit, I’ve put a hold on all plans that involve us being too far from home.

I was still recovering from DSMM and really just needed a lazy day at home. Plus the house was a mess and the laundry needed doing but by the afternoon we clearly needed to get out. We went to our local playground and were there for all of 15 minutes when Jack fell in a mud puddle after getting off the tire swing. He was so concerned that being messy had ruined his chances to watch Lucky Duck (a Disney JR movie) that night. Of course it didn’t so we watched Lucky Duck as a family.

The weather was iffy all day and every time we went outside it started to rain again. So we hung at home all day and Jack never got out of his PJ’s until about 4 when we went over our neighbors house for dinner and some much needed time out of the house.

Jack spent part of the day on the beach with my mom. John and I went out to lunch and then got drinks at one of the outdoor bars in Somers Point. I love that we live so close to the water. I do not know how people live where they have to drive hours to see the ocean. Sometimes 20 minutes is too much for me when I need to see the ocean. We had dinner with my parents and then Jack rode his bike to get ice cream. He can ride so fast on his bike, I’m amazed at how big he is getting.

I swore we were going to take the day and relax but my Moms Club had a play date at Jack’s favorite playground so we went there. The plan was to go food shopping after and then go home and relax but another Mom told me that the library was having the summer reading party kick off party. Jack heard the words “party” and I had already planned to go but had forgotten about it, so we raced through Shop Rite ran home, dropped the groceries and headed to the library. It was crowded and loud by library standards, which was a bit much for Jack so after getting a balloon animal and some books we left. We ran into our neighbor and the next thing I know we were all headed to the playground. Once we got home we had some much needed down time. So much for a lazy day.

I work on Tuesdays. After work Jack and I went to the Moms Club picnic. I was exhausted but the food was good and Jack had a blast, it was also nice to hang out with the moms.
Wednesday
I worked on Wednesday and it was really busy and by the time I got home I was beat. I bailed on Moms night karaoke, which made me sad because I really wanted to belt out some tunes but I was too tired to do more than just lounge. So I didn’t take any pictures (I’m so not good at this photo a day thing!) But here’s a bonus picture of Jack from Monday.
Thursday
We had a nice lazy morning at home and then headed to Sahara Sam’s water park for Jersey Family Fun. Jack and his friend Crosby had a blast riding the slides, jumping waves and floating in the lazy river. Jack called the lazy river the mysterious river which had me laughing, I don’t know where he comes up with these things. Another trip to the water park is definitely in our future.
I like your weekly round-up posts! What a great idea. Looks like you had a fun week.
Thank you! I think it's going to be nice to have an look back on at the end of the summer.
