***VACATION***

well, vacation is over and back to reality tomorrow. there is only 2 weeks before carter goes back to school on sept. 1st. and i have a ton to do.

craig has been on vacation for the last 10 days, and it has been so great. first we went to the wedding, and had a blast! then we were home for 2 days. we took the kids into boston. we didn't really have a plan, just to walk around and hang out. we got lunch at a little pub. then we headed over to the jeweler's building, and got my rings cleaned. they are so nice there and they love watching our family grow. i got to try on beautiful diamond eternity bands and put together a wish list. ;) then we just went to faneuil hall and watched the street performers, went into the shops, and got ice cream. all in all, it was a fun day.

on tuesday the boys had their dentist appointments. it was mason's first visit, and he did great! carter now loves the dentist, and after he was informed that he finally has a loose tooth, he told us it was the best day of his life. he is the last one of his friends to lose any teeth. (oh, and speaking of teeth, hadley got her 3rd tooth, and her 4th is just about to break through)

we went up to north conway, NH on wednesday. we have done this trip the last few years. the hotel we stay at is very kid friendly. i got the family suite this year, and it was perfect!! lots of room, and the kids thought it was amazing! we went to story land and santa's village. by friday i was done with theme parks and started to get a bit cranky. on the way home, we stopped at my parents house and dropped off carter for the weekend. yesterday we had a bbq with my play group. it was so much fun and lots of great food! today was a low key day. i wanted hadley to be able to nap whenever she wanted, and just let her crawl around and chill. the boys helped craig wash our cars this afternoon, and that was a fun way for them to end vacation.

so tomorrow craig will be back to work, and i need to start attacking my "back to school to do list". i can't believe summer is almost over...
