The rest of summer

Believe it or not, summer is officially OVER!  We had a really and truly fantastic summer.  We kept busy but really didn't do many major things.  Surprisingly, we never made it to the library or the movies, two things I thought we'd do regularly.  I feel like our summer was a great mix of being together as a family, doing things independently, spending time at the pool, playing outside, seeing friends, and doing little activities for fun.  There was plenty of whining and complaining... DAILY... but I'm going to miss the lazy summer days of hanging out with the kiddos.

Here's a look at the second half of our summer...

Hair cuts:

Sydney- before

Taylor- before

The pool:
The biggest accomplishment of the summer- Parker is finally swimming!  It's amazing how much your swimming skills can improve when you have regular access to a pool and not just taking random swim lessons. Yay!

Ahhh!  Such a fun summer!!  Now we're back to early alarms being set, homework to do, structure and routine.  I'll be good with it in a few weeks, once my body gets used to waking up before 8:30. ;) I guess I should probably go to bed...
