day 75-77 of summer

Day #75-77:  Wednesday, August 6 - Friday, August 8

We are in full-on get ready for school mode around here.  Which means let's fit everything that needs to get done in our last free days because it won't get done during the crazy, busy school year.  This includes:  reading the huge stack of kid's magazines that have collected all year long, get as much read aloud time in as possible {it sadly won't happen very much during the year}, me going through junk drawers and school supply drawers in our house and throwing stuff and more stuff away, labeling a thousand school supplies, and all the last minute appointments...

dentist appointments for all 3 {and ALL 3 were cavity free...yippee!}...

this one had his 7 year well child check up {yes, just 5 months behind on that one}...

and haircuts for this one...

and that one.

Whew I think that covers all the bases for now!

What else has been going on?

This boy received mail!  He's now ready for kindergarten with a letter from his teacher and this book, The Night Before Kindergarten, from his principal!  He's so excited to get started!

Aunt Tamarin came over and had dinner with us.  And did a little vegetable shopping in our backyard :).  Who can spot Ryan in the garden?

Then we had one last fun trip for the summer to a splash park.  Lots of fun with our friends!

And of course, "mom & dad" playtime with these too.  This is what they play e v e r y d a y.  Evan is the mom {we'll see how he likes this story later in life ;)} and Ellie is always the baby.  Apparently babies always wear swimsuits because Evan always has his baby put one on?!  Oh and I don't think I have told you about our latest addition to the backyard.  "Ellie's princess house."  We were donated it from Kelsey's backyard...thanks Kelsey!

Only a few days left...
