Ever since we put in our hardwood floors the dog has been scratching them up. So today Lucy and I went to Target after the girls left for school and bought Daisy a new bed. She was SO excited when we brought it home for her!!!
That lasted for all of 5 minutes:
She prefers the hardwood.
The girls enjoyed their first day of school yesterday. Lucy and I kept busy all day long. We made some cookies for our first day of school cookie date with Chloe and Megan (Emma was a field hockey practice). We also started working in one of her workbooks. She was a little quiet without the girls here, though. As the bus pulled away this morning she said “I miss the girls already”. 
Last night we had a nice “last day of summer” dinner with the girls. 
Emma, Megan and Chloe woke up at 5am this morning, which means I also had to wake up at 5am this morning. I see lots of coffee in my near future!

One morning down, 179 to go!
We ended the summer with two really nice parties with our families. Jon’s mom threw her annual cousin cookout on Saturday. I didn’t get as many pictures as I would have liked. I thought maybe if I ran around with my camera all day people would have thought I was crazy. I did get a couple of cute ones with Lucy and Sam.

As you can see I didn’t care if my parents and brother’s thought I was crazy with my camera:
They made me figure out the self timer on this one in less then 30 seconds. I love the expressions on everyone’s faces!
I was a little sad leaving both parties this weekend. We only get together with our extended family once a year now that we live so far away and everyone is busy raising their own families. I love having these pictures to look back on. I know that we have made so many nice memories for our girls.
Lucy took that one 🙂
I got out and voted for our schools!
This was Jon’s contribution to our new chalk board this week 🙂 He’s such a great husband!
So I relaxed and enjoyed a little wine.
And bought Lucy some boots to match mine!
I love this little face!
Oh….. and I’m voting for this guy:
Happy Weekend!!
I love that Lucy has a friend the same age as her growing up right next door. Emma, Megan and Chloe are all so much older then her so Esme is exactly what she needs. It’s been really fun watching these 2 little girls get to know each other over the last couple of months. I love that she has someone to play babies, princesses and dress up with. I enjoy listening to their 4 year old conversations and watching them run through the backyard and up the driveway together. My hope is that they will always remain good friends and have many fun “adventures” together.
Adorable moments!
All of the supplies have been bought for school!
And we’re all stocked up on snacks and juice boxes too!!
The classroom list was posted today. I don’t know why we even bother going to look. All it does is cause tears and frustration. Ok, I didn’t really cry in front of the school again, but my friend Heather did. LOL
6 more days!!
I’m so happy they let me take their picture!!
I love these girls SO much!
I turned 36 (yikes!!) this week.
The kids love that we set the wii back up after having it unplugged for a few months.
Love this sweet profile picture of Megan
Lucy worked hard on the letter A
Relaxing with Daisy
2nd day of field hockey tryouts. This kid is exhausted!!
Only 12 more days until the girls go back to school. Even though it will be nice for everyone to get back into a routine I’m not ready for a quiet house. I do have a lot of plans for Lucy this fall, though. Since I’m not sending her to pre-school I want to make sure she knows all her letters, numbers and a few other things before she goes to kindergarten next year. Marlene picked up a bunch of preschool work books that Lucy is dying to start. Can’t you just picture her sitting at this little desk with me everyday?? 
Only one more year until my house is really quiet during the day and like always I’m going to Enjoy Each Moment.
