This summer I got to spend a lot of it babysitting but loved spending time with kids I have been with 12+ years! But to be honest, we need to call it something different because they are no where near babies. And yes, they are growing up but we loving hanging out together! I had a wonderful summer with these three! Here are some of the adventures we had together!
This summer Maddie had to paint some pictures for her mom's office so I spent a lot of time watching her and sometimes got to help paint the background color! ;) She is SUPER talented!
Oh the chickens! They have 12 pets as chickens (for the eggs). Seven of the chickens are new and quite naughty so I feel like I spent half my time trying to find them!
More Painting!
One day, we hit up the farmer's market to make pie!
We found Heirloom tomatoes so...
we had to make tomato pie!
We also made a Thank You blueberry pie for the neighbors!
While Maddie was painting, Ainsley and I would hang out watching bride shows or reading books!
One afternoon, Mom picked us up and took us to Pelican's Sno-balls! Love, love, love this place!
One weekend, I got to spend with them- sleepover style!
Colin doing what he loves- dunking baskets!
After dinner, we hightailed it to Sheetz! Our favorite place for cool drinks!
Next day we headed to the park!
And then to go bowling!
We also stopped off at the bookstore to get books for Mads school year!
We made a beach cake for their Dad's birthday!
The next week, Maddie and Colin were gone so Ainsley and I had the week together! We met my friend Derrick for lunch and tried on masks! ;)
Now this was a cool experience- probably my favorite of the summer! Ainsley loves to babysit so I went with her to babysit one of her mom's coworker's children. It was so neat to watch her do what I have done with her for years! Warmed my heart!
The following weekend, I babysat for my friend's boys!
We had fun dressing up!
Eating hot dogs for breakfast!
Repairing cars in the driveway!
Next day, I was back to the Smiths and Mads was painting!
Crazy chickens wondered up the deck stairs...
and next to the grill!
We also discovered Duck Donuts and became obsessed!
Thrift store shopping was another discovery! Aren't they gorgeous!
Maddie's volleyball coach invited her to go horseback riding and she had the time of her life! I love watching her do something she is so passionate about!
Ainsley fell in love with the sheep!
The day before I flew back to Tunisia, they stopped by to say goodbye! Oh how I love these three!
The three and their wonderful mom!
Smith Children, I love you so!
