Happy First Day of Summer

Today is the first day of summer although living in Miami it feels like it's summer all the time and everyone here practically wears flipflops all year long, the kids definately look forward to their time off from school to go out and play in the sun.

As I sat with my nieces over the past few weeks, and sorta interviewed them for this post. I asked them what were a few things they would like to do over the summer. Realistic and Affordable of course, I was afraid that one would ask me to take them to the moon.  So here's what they've requested.


☀ Pool party

☀ Go to Disney World

☀ Go to the beach
   

☀ Go to the park

☀ Visit Samantha and Sabrina (my other 2 nieces)

☀ Bake cupcakes and cookies

☀ Go to the SpongeBob Hotel... (Nickelodeon Hotel)

☀ Get a facial, mani, pedi☀ Go to the Zoo

☀ Go to the Water Park

☀ Fly Kites

☀ Go to the Icecream store (Menchies)

☀ Have a sleepover


☀ Go to the movies
☀ Go to Jump A Roos

After their requests, I began doing some homework on some outdoor activities and putting together a spectacular pool party. Every year I have a Summer Bash for the girls, last year I took a break from it all, but this year's Bash is going out with a BAM. 

Check back at the end of the summer to see what we've accomplished!

My Weekend Shenanigans

Linking up with Sami for this Weekend's Shenanigans...

I was really excited for this weekend to begin, this was the first time my nieces were sleeping over with me since I got hitched. Friday, just couldn't get here quick enough. Friday afternoon my sister dropped off my nieces at my office, and I was thrilled to see them. I introduced them ok showed them off to all my co-workers, because they are the cutest little girls in the world. Then I cleaned up my office and took off to get our weekend started.

When I got home they hugged their Uncle Ron, and just hung out on the couch

while I prepared something for them to eat. Then they both grabbed an Ipad and played their little fingers away.

1- Layla watching Uncle Ron play Wreck It Ralph

2- Layla teaching Uncle Ron what to do

3- Observing what he's learned.

 

After dinner we went to the grocery store to pick up some stuff for Saturday's BBQ. Then I gave the girl's mani/pedi's while Uncle Ron built them a

cool tent out of bed sheets so they could sleep under.

 

While the girls hid out under their tent, I caught up on some current events that the Huns recorded for me while at work. Donnie Wahlberg talks on the Attack in Boston.

 

Saturday morning, I attempted to make Mickey Pancakes,

with a Mickey pan my sister gifted me.
But I guess I put the stove on too high and the paint on the bottom of the pan started burning so I gave up and handed the stove to the Huns.

 

After breakfast I got the girls ready and we went to watch my Hunny's little cousin's Karate meet, where the 3 of them ranked up to Yellow Belts!

The oldest received a trophy for her great performance and for making no mistakes.
Those little girls will kick your butt!

 

Then we were off to celebrate with a BBQ and some Pool time with the Family!

 

Sunday was Spring Cleaning Day at the Granda's.
Got the Huns out of bed nice and early.

Finished a few little projects that were on our to-do list and

finally finished the last load of laundry at midnight!

I say overall it was a SUCCESSFUL weekend!

This weekend is going to be amazing, at least for me.
Iron Man 3 is coming out this weekend....and I'm super ready for their Marathon

 and to wear my new Iron Man shirt.

Spending the weekend on Ft. Lauderdale beach getting some much needed R&R!

Tell you all about it next week!

 

 What exciting stuff did you do this weekend?
