End of Summer

I can't believe SUMMER is almost over! It's so hot here still that it's not really the end of the summer but just the end of our summer playing! And that thought makes me kind of sad...we've had so many fun things...I felt quite spoiled because the girls and I just got to go from one fun thing to the next all summer long!
The Highlights from our SUMMER with a 5 year old and a 2 and a half year old:
  • Colorado Wedding and Hawaii...of course
  • Swimming at Grandma Debbie's pool (not our Grandma but our neighbor's Grandma who generously let us come over to swim and escape the heat!)
  • Library activities...the public library had lots of fun events...a magician, the yo-yo kid, a ventriloquist, a juggler
  • Playing with Hannah (for Ali) and playing with Ty (for Lizzie)
  • Going to Rainbow Recreation, Botanical Gardens, 4 birthday parties, Water park RiverChase, watching "Toy Story 3" at the theatre
  • Family trip to Branson, Missouri (I forgot my camera that weekend but it was SO fun to go on a family trip and so close to home too!)
  • Back to school shopping (I love this more than I should but how can you not love new clothes, new shoes, and new school supplies??)
  • Neighborhood Back to School Brunch and Kindergarten Ice Cream Social (mainly those events were just excuses for Moms to get together and chat and have the kids play!)

Here is our SOON TO BE KINDERGARTENER!! We are so excited for her and I know she'll do really well. She is happy that we are going to take her to school that first morning but then she really wants to ride the bus every time after that! I don't know if I'll be a bit sad or not...I know Lizzie and I will miss her during the days...but at least she's only in half day kindergarten. Next year will be even worse! :)


Lizzie reading to Raggedy Ann and Andy. She was reading that book "Scat Scat" that was mine when I was little. She knows the story really well and uses a lot of the same language when she was reading it to her dolls!
