August has been a great and relatively relaxing way to end the summer. We had no structure as swim team was over, which was good in some ways, but very hard in others. We went up to visit my mom at her house for a vacation, celebrated two of our birthdays, and otherwise just spent a lot of time at the pool.
We've gotten lots of cousin time.
The kids had a small group sleepover for the first time! It was also Ben and Rosie's first sleepover away from home.
I took this picture because I don't know how many more times, if any, all the kids will be in one shopping cart together...
Rosie and Ben are occasionally creative during nap time. In this instance, they built tracks with crayons.
Fort building and show performing...
Jane eats cookies from the top down...anyone else?
Ben and dad.
Colonial Williamsburg with friends.
Snuggle time.
The kids did Pizza Hut's summer reading program and got their Book it prizes!
One day the kids made a scavenger hunt inside the house.
The kids got to play on a giant inflatable slide in the neighbor's backyard.
Eleanor has gotten into sewing a bit lately and made this skirt.
Eleanor got to celebrate an early birthday when Grandma and Dave were in town. Grandma took her out on a little shopping trip, which she loved!
Eleanor got indoor hammock hooks for her birthday.
We got lots of ice cream with our summer reading program coupons from the library.
Onward to September...a good first month of school, a couple more birthdays, and hopefully some cooler weather!
