Where did summer go?

As we start our last week of summer, (well it is the last week before Brinley starts school) I can't believe 3 months ago I was wondering what I would do with 2 kids all day long with no break! Needless to say, the summer flew by and we had a blast! Brinley went to her last day of gymnastics today. She loved it and we will probably be doing it every summer. She can now walk on a balance beam, a front roll, a cartwheel, and can kinda do a handstand!

We also took a trip down to the beach yesterday with several families. It was so much fun and the kids had a blast! We roasted hot dogs, ate watermelon and then toasted smores. The kids ran, swam and dug until we drug them unwillingly into the cars to go home. This probably won't be our last trip to the beach, but it was a great way to end our official summer!

This next week will busy with us getting back on a schedule (mommy can't wait!), shopping for school clothes, and putting the finishing touches on our master bathroom remodel which has been going on for the past month! I will post pictures when it is completely done!
