winding down summer

after family left, we let the kids have a camp out in the backyard
only noah and henry made it until the next morning

 these three went to a little art/science camp put on by a neighbor girl and loved it
 our last free dq burgers
 national night out at our neighborhood park


 henry's cool tricks were killing me


 another tooth lost
she said, "i believed i could so i did it"
 olive loves looking at things/reading while eating cereal
 back to school date with olive to target 

 my parents stopped back through on their way back home and dropped kami back with us


 michael and i left kami in charge and went out to dinner to epi's 
it was so fun and delicious



 my gray hairs are really peeking through lately
 saying goodbye to kami 

 farmer's market






 missing noah who was on a camp out
 fun park downtown

 love these girls
 loving that the kids actually slept in for once
 breakfast by michael
 playing cards in a fort made by michael
 i love it when the milk expires on my birthday
 fun pool day
 so many messes

 they were happy to have a pond at the playgroup park we went to
 throwing a fit
 fresh off the tree
 eating a plum and enjoying the apples
 hibiscus
 so sleepy
 finding his locker

jude and henry worked in cahoots on this one
 multi-tasking reading+pool=bookworm
 new haircut
 double decker pizza

it was all fun and games until i made him get out
 i couldn't give blood so michael did for both of us
 a really soapy bath that led to an allergic reaction for henry and hives/itchy skin for a week or two
 the cutest
 late night drive through back to school date for noah
 a fun last summer hurrah for all the kids at the pool with pizza
