lazy friday mornings

Cade (my just-finished-first grader) goes to an awesome charter school and they have slightly longer days but only go Monday-Thursday.  We LOVE this because we get to have 3-day weekends every week!  Usually one Friday a month there is a field trip planned by the school to somewhere great but it typically doesn't start until 9:30 or later so we still get to wake up slowly and lounge around.  This year my boys have loved to drag blankets and pillows out into the backyard and read or play together all cozied up.  I love how much Cade loves reading...it runs in the family and he seems to adore it as much as I always have.  He's been super into the "Stink" books (thanks Steph for recommending them!) and has started the How to Train Your Dragon series (thanks to Erin!).  He has been zipping through books so let me know if any of you have suggestions for us to check out.  These pics are from a month ago (and they've since had haircuts - thanks Auntie Katie!),  but they are outside right now doing a variation of the same.  Happy summer!  xo
