First Day of School

A glorious thing that they are back on the same schedule and same bus this year.  They look ready, right??

Lunch Date

Little lunch treat at Chipotle before the first day of school.

Crisafulli

Someone will be joining her big brother at the upper elementary school starting tomorrow!  This morning they opened the school for self-guided tours.  She's been here before, but I think seeing the school again before the first big day helped ease some of her anxiety.

Aiden's new 4th grade classroom.

She looks so tiny in this big, big-kid school....

Playground gets a seal of approval.

Last Hurrah

Last hurrah at Kimballs with the neighborhood gang before school starts on Tuesday.

The Next Generation

Breakfast with "The Maine Elizabeth" (my friend Becky's daughter).  It's been far too long since we've seen each other.

The Way Life Should Be

Enjoying the lake for one final weekend of the summer.

Cousins!

Sushi Night

Taking the boy out to sushi dinner while his sister is up in Maine with Grammy & Grampy.

Cub Scout Camp Creation

Aiden built a chair at Cub Scout camp this week!

Taekwondo Graduation

Little Miss graduated to her orange belt today.  No picture, unfortunately, but Aiden also graduated today to his blue belt.  Job well done, kiddos!

Cindy's Dockside

A summertime favorite!

Lake Time!

Granny's Purse

Visiting Babchi this afternoon. 

Dinner Out!

Bree's turn to get a night out with mom & dad.  Her choice - Thai Jasmine.

Pool and Pizza Playdate

Post cooking camp playdate for these two cuties.

Quality Time With My Boy

One more day of one-on-one time with this handsome guy before he heads off to Maine to spend a few days with Grammy & Grampy.   We started the day with breakfast at Paul's Diner, where Aiden ate his body weight in eggs, pancakes, bacon, home fries and toast.  I don't know where he puts it all!

Next up was a morning full of adventure at Kimball Farm -- starting with the Soaring Eagle Zip Line which I refused to go on with him!  LOL!

18 holes of mini-golf.  He's pretty good competition.  I won't say who won, but it was VERY close.

Ice cream before lunch?  Why not?!

Last but not least, some bumper car action.

Happy Meal, Happy Kid

Bree's at camp this week, so I told Aiden I'd treat him to lunch today -- anywhere.  He choose McDonalds.  (Ick)

Pool Fun

The weather warmed up quite a bit today, making for an awesome day at the pool.

Walking on water.

Perfecting her dive.

I think Jillian was sad to see us leave.  Thanks for a super weekend, Matt & Andrea!

Mattapoisett

It's one of our most favorite weekends of the summer -- visiting the Osborne's in Mattapoisett!  It was a little on the chilly, overcast side today, but that didn't stop the kids from enjoying the pool.

Aiden got some poker lessons from the pros in the evening.

Snuggy and ready for their sleepover.

Beach Day!

What a day for the beach!  Great time with great friends.

Getting Prettied Up

Holy Cucumber!

Loving the summer bounty from our CSA share.
