summer is just about over...

labor day weekend usually marks the end of summer... but now that we are on a school schedule, and carter starts back on tuesday the 31st.

we have had a great summer, but i am ready to get back to a schedule. as much as i love my children dearly, let's just say i would not do well home schooling.

craig worked a ton in august to help his company move locations. in return he has been taking a couple of days off/working from home to spend time with the family before school starts. on thurs. mason had a play date at his preschool. then i took him to panera for lunch. craig went out with hadley and carter, and took them to friendly's. while hadley was napping, craig took the boys bowling. it was a great day!!!

on friday we did some errands during the day, and then carter went to a birthday party. i hosted a lia sophia party friday night, and had so much fun!!! it was great just getting together with the girls, hanging out, and trying on jewelry. i bought a bunch of things with the hostess discount that i wouldn't normally buy/wear, but it was fun. i can't wait for my next date night, to get dressed up!

on saturday we spent the day in south dartmouth w/ craig's aunt and uncle. they invited us down so the kids could go swimming. it was perfect! the weather was amazing, and the kids had so much fun!!! i turned down the temp. in the hot tub so it was like bath water... i think i could have spent the whole weekend in there. it was just what my body needed.

today we thought about heading down to the beach, but decided against it. it turns out i had a horrible night sleep, with very uncomfortable pains. i slept in and we had a lazy morning at home. we then headed outside to enjoy the sun. we set up the slide for the kids to play with, and craig did chores outside. the boys were so excited to have a water fight with craig...

after hadley's nap, we headed to chili's for dinner, and then crescent ridge for ice cream. so yummy!!! hadley loves ice cream, and enjoyed it very much.

craig will be home for part of the day tomorrow, and then needs to go in for some meetings... and then tuesday is carter's first day!!!
