The summer is flying by, with only 6 weeks left, we've really not done anything major exciting.  I don't feel guilty - spending most afternoons at a great pool, mornings with their grandparents and cousins, my kids are living THE life!

That said, Scott's also been working way more than ever before.  He's responsible for the final stages of a 24 storey building that has to be finished by the end of August.  That means starting at 5am (leaving home at 4am) and working most Saturdays and Sunday's 6am-2pm (popping home for church!).  He's also been doing office work at home, so the kids have not had much Daddy time.

So this week we thought it would be fun to surprise them, and I'm thankful that they truly appreciate the simple things!

First we surprised them with dinner out at Chick Fil A (it's a fast food chain that sells only chicken, no burgers.  It's a nice place to go, food is great and it doesn't break the bank.). They enjoyed that and when they were done eating we surprised them again with tickets to go and see the Minion movie!

We love the new reclining seats at the movies!

The arm rests come up, so we could snuggle and watch the movie!

We won't make it on vacation this year, but we hope to take a few days off at the end of the summer and do some fun things as a family.  Whatever we do, both these kids have a long memory, so they wil remember the good times!
