Today was the official last day of summer for the girls. So, we decided to celebrate all day long! After breakfast, we started a non-stop day of play. Card games first, UNO, Old Maid (my personal favorite), and Go Fish. Then, off to the store to get Madi's soccer gear for the season. By 10 am we were already jumping at an inflatable bounce zone. After some minor burns on the equipment (we were sliding down fast!), and bandages (including me), we came home for lunch. I decided to spend the whole day doing nothing but getting into their world- no phone calls, no chats with neighbors, no computer. I played Barbies, duckies, house x2 (each one wanted a turn to be the mom), rode bikes around the neighborhood, played outside in the sandbox, and completed a puzzle. By the end of the afternoon, I was pooped! I have a load of dishes still in the sink from breakfast, laundry on the chair that needs folding, and a finger swipe test that would come back positive for dust! They don't care about that, and how sweet it is to have special time with my kids. They're only young once- and how it goes by so fast!
Goodbye Summer! You've been good to us!

Summer has flown by! For us it was remodeling, baseball with Ethan, and lots of new teeth for Isaiah. Hope the girls have a great school year. Miss you all! Nate, Ellen & Boys
Sounds like an awesome day!
You are so wise. The "dirt" in the house will always be there. They won't. Enjoy every minute with your precious girls.
Mom
