Last week of summer

Well, we tried hard to make the last week of summer a good, fun one for the family, but also a fairly productive one.  Not sure how well we did, but we certainly enjoyed ourselves!

On Tuesday we went to Trafalga.  We'd been lucky to find a deal at Screamin' Coupons, and got the tickets for half off, so it was definitely time to use them!  We played miniature golf, did the 4D theater ride, and raced go carts.  Munchkin and Buddy Boy were definitely good sports about kissing in front of the castle for me:-) 

Wednesday we went to Buddy Boy's school open house.  He did really well once he was warmed up, and we have really high hopes and goals set for him!  The kids had a great time playing dress up while there:

Afterwards we went to the This is the Place park with Grandma Woods and played with the "pioneers" for awhile. 

Saturday we went to the vet, which kinda sucked, but hey, it's productive, right?  That afternoon Munchkin went to Granny's to swim.  Sunday we had a family dinner with Grandma Woods while Reggie and Michelle were in town, and had a blast! 

And now it's Monday and school has started (for Munchkin, anyway).  Back to the world of learning, achieving, and homework!:-)

Our Summer...Summarized

So....I really can't believe summer is over.  Usually I'm SO ready, but this year I'm not so sure.  I am excited to get Buddy Boy back in school, though.  I can see the difference it makes!!  Anyway, here's a little of what my summer looked like:

(sold a lot of Mary Kay, went out of business, sleepover with cousins, hanging at the zoo...)

Discovered a couple of birds nests in the yard...

Planted a good-sized garden...

                                                      

                         25 playgrounds and ten million excursions to the backyard.

Too much fast food, a hike up ensign peak

 A 10-year anniversary

A trip to the Alpine Slide.

 Swimming lessons for Munchkin

An awesome experience watching The Lion King, Broadway with my girl....(don't feel bad for my boy, he would have been miserable, I swear!)

And some of the non-picture stuff:

• United States of Autism filming crew
• Offered part time work for a friend.
• Got put on another PTA (OY)
• Attempted to learn to say NO and not overextend myself (and said no twice today!!! )
• Started Qui-Gong and saw promising results.

That's about the summary.  I know I missed stuff, but I am "almost a grandma" as my 7-year old tells me.  After all, I'm 30 YEARS OLD!  Memory is the first to go, right?


And now, to make sure fall/autumn is just as memorable!
