Summer- Week 9

This was a short, last week of summer... the kiddos start back to school tomorrow (Thursday)!

It has been a good summer, overall.  I always have all these plans in my head (go to the library each week! Do a chore chart! Do lots of summer reading!  Go to a bunch of parks!), most of which did not happen this summer. ;)  The broken leg threw a wrench in some things, but maybe it was a nice excuse to slow things down this summer.

I'm sad that summer is over, but I feel like summer's expiration date has arrived.  I think we're all ready to be in a routine!

Here's what we did the last few days of summer:

Ashley's House:





Haircuts!





Meeting Blooper!



Tie-dying Shirts:

*I'll need to update later with our final products!

Open House:

Taylor has Parker's teacher from last year!


Random:

Sydney typing up a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book she wrote.


It's been nice, summer 2019!

Summer- Week 8

This was our last full week of summer!  Sniff sniff.

The girls had mandatory team camp each night this week from 7-8:30, so my plans of having them go to bed earlier and waking up earlier went by the wayside.  Stephen was out of town for 3 days this week while we meanwhile tried to salvage these last days of summer!

Besides camp each night, this was some of what we did this week:

Water fun:






Target trip to "get matching outfits":



Going into 5th and 6th grades... sure, those outfits will work...;)


Final choice.  A bit better.

Andretti's:








Subway lunch

Stuffed Animal Sleeopver at Chick-fil-A:

The kids got the biggest kick out of this.  We took the dolls by CFA, and they posted pictures on their FB page throughout the evening and next morning of the dolls hanging out.

Day at the lake:



Sydney and her friends Bella and Cameron.


Taylor hung out at Abby's house:




Jaime's 40th birthday:



Putt Putt/Arcade:


Fore!

She got the ball!...

...then it dropped. ;) (don't feel bad for her... a) she got one a few minutes later and b) we have about 3,500 balls at home)



Random:


They walked around Publix like this.  Had to document ;)

Soccer practice!

Car wash! To my front...

...and to my back.


Other fun: swimming in the n'hood pool a couple of times, Stephen and Sydney spending all day Sunday at White Water.
