Summer's End

We didn't have a lot of plans for Monday morning, so it was very nice that Chris and David were over visiting next door.

The children played together outside, played a computer game and had a snack together.

Even better than a computer game is a memory-matching game - got to get those brains engaged again!

On Monday afternoon, Grandma and Grandpa came over, and we drove together to pick up Stacey. We headed to Hurricane Harbor for our annual trip, courtesy of Mom's employee benefit tickets. Since we stayed in the water, we don't have any photos, but it was a fun couple of hours.


On Tuesday, in and around haircuts for the girls - more on that soon - we met up with Stace for lunch. Both girls soon will be in school at lunchtime, so this was a special treat.








Violet the other day was busy in the back seat, drawing a kitty stamp on her hand. She announced that she wanted to invite a lot of people over for an animal party, and all the friends could choose between a kitty stamp, a doggy stamp (with a paw print) and a bird, with a bird print.

She then went in the house and drew out the "stamps" using a marker on a large flat eraser.

Violet also showed me this drawing of our family. I loved it.
