{One last day of summer}

I can not believe our last day of summer is almost here. What a great summer we had too!! No, we didn't go on some fancy vacation, but let's have a little re-cap of what we DID do during our Staycation 2010...
-tons and tons and tons of swimming (of which the kids started out hardly going underwater, and now we can't keep them above water, including Lucas)
-went camping 3 times (and still hoping to go more before winter)
-went to World's of Fun and had BLAST even if it was 105 degrees that day
-Austin lost 4 more teeth
-had several BBQ's with friends and family
-went to my cousins wedding
-had a very successful garage sale
-2 weeks of swim lessons
-Austin and Ashlyn did Bible School
-Austin did basketball camp and football camp (loved it)
-The kids and I took a road trip to Manhattan for a slumber party at Callie's (SO FUN)
-We finished putting up cabinets in the kitchen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (pics later)
-All the kids got to stay out at the Turner farm a few times
-ate lots of s'mores
-took all the kids to see Toy Story 3
-had lots of play dates with friends
-went to Kaleidescope 3 times
-lots of home cookin'

So, I think we kept plenty busy. Definitely enjoyed sleeping in and having lazy mornings in our pj's. I may just miss that the most. Austin will be starting Kindergarten on Thursday - such a big kid now. He looks mighty handsome in his school uniform - pictures will definitely be posted on Thursday - after I stop bawling because my baby is off to school. It's hard to believe he will be gone all day long - it makes me happy and sad all at the same time. I am so proud of who he is and can't wait to get the school year started - he is going to love it. The girls will also be heading off to preschool, but not until sept. 7. I can't wait to see what Gabriella will think of school - I think she is going to change a lot this year so it will be interesting to see who she becomes. I guess I feel like I am entering a new phase of life a little bit. The kids are getting older. At least I still have my little Lucas - who is SO cute. Love that boy so much, this age is so much fun. He thinks everything is awesome and he is quite the talented dancer - I have got to get it on video. He can really bust a move.
Now it's time to hang with my hubs - enjoy your last days of summer!!
