This weekend felt like a sneak peek into summer! We had sunshine and 80+ degree temperatures and a relatively open schedule which made it a good one. Friday All of the boys were off school on Friday and Rhett and I had something a little special on the calendar: Kindergarten screening! (Sunglasses: Amazon)  (Pants: Albion — code PBFINGERS10 saves 10% — I’m 5’7” and wearing a size small tall / Top: Amazon / Shoes: Steve Madden / Bag: Madewell)  The big kids’ school meets with every incoming kindergartener for an hour of play-based assessments and playground time before summer break. We majorly lucked out when Ryder’s teacher was assigned to complete Rhett’s evaluation so he had a familiar face greeting him! Our Friday evening was a fun one as well because we borrowed our neighbor’s golf cart and took it out to dinner. Any activity involving a golf cart ride feels a little bit like a vacation! Saturday Saturday morning began with a his and hers workouts for me and Ryan. I caught up on a Move Together Challenge workout I missed earlier in the week and it felt good to move my body to start the day. (Workout mat is my favorite Stakt Pro mat! Code PBFINGERS15 saves 15%! Why I love it: It’s thicker and more gentle on my body and knees, it can fold up and be an elevated surface and it stays in place.)  Our main plans for the day took us to a local pond for a fishing derby with friends! The fishing derby is one of our favorite local events put on by the town’s parks and recreation department. It’s always well-attended and a lot of fun! No one in our crew took home a prize this year but Ryder came within an inch of capturing the prize for the biggest fish caught! The kid who won the prize for most fish caught within 90 minutes caught 51 fish. Unreal, right!? (Ryder’s tee is is last year’s “Mae’s summer t-shirt” annual tradition creation. I love it so much.)  Before heading home, we drove to the big kids’ school for their spring art market. (Set is the same Z Supply one I raved about last year! Top (size small) + Bottoms (size medium) / Sunglasses: Sardine (gifted) / Sneakers: Adidas / Bag: Clare V.)   Chase and Ryder absolutely adore their school art teacher and supporting her is important to our family. (We gave each kid a small budget to shop to support the artists at the market.)  Their art teacher is one of those people with a calming presence you just love to be around and even has a wall of photos in her classroom of her students posing with fish they’ve caught who happen to share her love for fishing. (Can you see why they love her?) She also makes her own pottery and I couldn’t resist adding another one of her bowls I love so much to my collection. During our time at the art market, we took a brief break to listen to...
