sum... summ... summertime

Less than three weeks left and we're back to school. YEAHHHH! As much as I love summertime and going to the pool whenever, getting dressed at 10am, late nights out with the family, and going fun places... I'd done. It's been fun... let's move on!

We did have a great summer. David and Sarah loved science camp and David and his friend Justin loved golf camp. Peggy and Sarah really liked their art class through the rec dept. So much so that Sarah has decided that's what she wants to do when she grows up... be a crafts teacher. Peggy is also doing ballet at the Y and loves it. She will even do a little show for you most days! We'll probably keep that up in the fall. David has one more camp... AYSO soccer camp... and then we're done.

My biggest accomplishment this summer... Peggy is potty trained... which really just means she CAN go pee in the potty. It doesn't actually mean she always WILL go pee in the potty. She's done VERY well, I'm not complaining one bit. She has been VERY easygoing about the whole process... we haven't had one outburst from either of us over the situation. That's VERY positive.

I have been having so much fun this summer that I've neglected to take any pictures. We've been the water park more than I can count on one hand... no pictures. We went blueberry picking at a local farm... no pictures. We went polliwog hunting at a local stream last week... no pictures. Peggy is swimming.... no pictures... but I do have video. We watched Enchanted outdoors at the Y one night... no pictures. Peggy's ballet is soooo cute it brings tears to my eyes... no pictures. So I have no proof that any of that happened!

What do I have pictures of... The Williams came to visit from Canada. The kids got along beautifully and we had a great time chatting with our old friends. The kids watched the 3D Hannah Montana concert on TV... the lead up was more exciting than the actual event!

We're BAAAACCCK

We're back from our wonderful vacation in Colorado! Peggy actually had a tantrum when we told her we were leaving! The kids had such a great time... we swam at the pool, caught a home run ball at a Rockies game, ooohed and aaaawed at fireworks (TWICE), saw Walle, cheered on Courtney at her softball game, went to Water World, partied at Lilly's house for the 4th, played in Riley's basement and ate birthday cake with Gabby.

Pictures... oh yeah, I'll have to find those. Come back soon!
