augut extras

i don't have much to say tonight

partially because i've got my first round of students tomorrow

partially because we were at my parents' house this weekend and sparkle decided to be part-racoon and go all nocturnal on us

and partially because i sliced my finger on a broken jar when we got home...typing just ain't my thang right now with a huge bandage cramping my style

anywhoo - here are a few pictures from august

some dear friends are loaning us a play house, which has led to all kinds of pretend in the backyard

the favorite make believe happens when i give them old bowls and spoons and they go on a hunt for ingredients for "stew"

rocks, flowers, sticks, leaves...and the previously mentioned "toxic" berries are just a few of the varieties of stew i've been privileged to try :)

miss fancy pants learned to roll this month

although there is still no hair to report, she's gotten cuter by the minute

we had another round of "nastics"

(which, when translated from 2-year-old, is gymnastics :)

j did his best to get peach to brave the bike without training wheels

but she's gonna' hang on to them for a bit longer 

had a few sweltering days where we tried to beat the heat....

then finally settled for a glorious labor day at grandma and grandpa's house and lots of fun on their massive tire swing

we even got great grandma out there for a spin and a few songs

grandma made a colored rice treasure hunt to top off the weekend and we came home exhausted, but full of happy memories

 

on that note, good bye august

good bye late nights

good bye wearing yoga pants all day every day

hello to september

hello to a routine

hello to an outfit that cannot be mistaken for pajamas

and hello to a 9:30 bed time

it's good to be back :)
