I was going to sign her up for a summer camp as well but the timing for drop off and pick up just didn't work out, so we decided to have some quality girlie time.
I was worried she'd get bored with me rather quickly so I tried really hard to impress her. BUT after our first relaxing day of crafting and playing I realized that not much is need to make my little girl happy. Really, all she wants is time to play, go shopping and pretend to be in some other fantasy world.
Monday
Tuesday mornings :)
Tuesday afternoon - the EPIC bag Mama Made :)
I had found this bag, ready cut and pinned in my fabric mountain and decided to finically sew it up and sparkle it up a bit for my little Lulu.
Wednesday = High Tea with some lovely friends
Thursday was Mermaid Making Day
I cleaned a to-go-box and we turned it into a mermaid habitat :)
The three Mermaid sister
Friday was pool day and na-course the Epic bag and Mermaids had to come along :)
Lulu took some time to listen to books, the OLD FASHION WAY as she says.
I had found the tape recorder and books with tapes on the give-away-table at school and thought she'd enjoy listening to the books. How right I was :)
Saturday was crafting day AGAIN. Lulu opened her gift from Mrs. Anthonette and made lots of prettyful jewelry.
After spending one whole week just doing fun things 7 year olds love to do I realized how much I love to do what 7 years old like to do. Just messing up the kitchen table with Sharpies and fabrics, beads, wool, lots of hugs in between and many, many snuggles.
This summer I am trying to just slow it all down a bit. Based on all the driving around from one camp to another I am not very successful so far BUT we still have lost of summer left!
The count-down to the cabin time has begun!!!
