out with a bang
That's it, it's over. Summer vacation has come and gone. We tried to pack in a lot of fun these last couple of days. Thursday we went to the Children's Museum. Thursday night was the boys' ice cream social at school. Friday was Ella's meet-n-greet at her school, then we took pastries from Sweet Georgine's over to Besta's (the boys were already there), and then we headed to the Durham Western Heritage Museum. An amazing place, by the way. Friday night we had friends over for a casual night of grilling, the Olympics and a little wii challenge by Charlie. Saturday afternoon David took the boys swimming and almost the minute they got home Besta was here to take them to a splash park and then back to her house for a sleepover. Today we had a delicious breakfast at Besta's, spent the afternoon at home, grilled dinner and then went to eCreamery for a little ice cream. So the summer vacation went out with a bang and hopefully everyone is ready for a great year of school. And as my cousin (who's a teacher) reminded me a week ago, vacation may be over, but summer will continue on for a little longer. That makes me feel much better. I love fall, but I'm not quite ready to let summer go.
p.s. The photo is of Charlie's foot and my foot. It won't be long and his feet will be as big as mine! Aack! :)
week eleven {garden}
My tomatoes are growing, I might get a yellow pepper before the snow flies and my hibiscus is blooming! Happy days in my garden, especially after spending most of today pulling weeds and pruning.
I need this:
Available at who made it. She has several others to choose from.
abandoned
I haven't totally abandoned garage sale. It's been hard keeping up this summer with vacations and house guests and life! But I do have these lovely items to list and hope to get them added today.
I was reading Poppytalk the other day I clicked on the Budget Living section on the sidebar. And found this wonderful idea on how to use metal trays. Hanging them on the wall is not a new idea, but using them as a magnet board is new to me and brilliant!
they're so good...
After opening a box of graham crackers the other day Sam asked if we could make those things with the chocolate chips and marshmallows. So I picked up the other two ingredients and yesterday afternoon we had s'mores. Is there anything better than a s'more? I toasted the marshmallows on my gas burner and then did another set in the microwave. Both were good, maybe not quite as good as when you are camping, but still pretty darn good! Our summer vacation is quickly slipping away. Only four more days and the boys will be back in school. It's bittersweet, actually. But they are ready and I am ready. I'll miss these lazy mornings though. And I'll miss these two little guys. 
I can't forget about the little miss. She didn't get any s'mores because it was nap time. Poor thing! But she is also starting school next week. She's telling everyone, "I'm going to school. It's my school, not Sam's school anymore." Her meet and greet is Friday morning and her first day is Tuesday. Oh boy!
