The end of Summer

As I said in an earlier post summer has been great. We've been to the pool a ton, seen some movies, conquered potty training in just a few days, watched too much tv, played way too many video games, played with friends, made a lot of cookies, gave our lawn a lot of TLC, painted one wall in the family room, went to the main fire stations' safety town to ride the bikes, and played with some toys here and there. But school starts next Monday and the kids are ready. Mom is ready! Although Austin will be very bored without so much entertainment.the lawn is finally looking greenwe're so slow with the painting process.
~Not the best picture, but the rest of the room was a mess!~his feet couldn't reach the pedals, so i pushed him around the 'town'(but not without a few accidents-when they're ready, they're ready...no forcing from mom)
the starting line!
Colin being a bum!
He loves to shake his 'chika bum bum'
I'll have to post a video sometime of Austin swimming. His arm floaties and ring float got a hole in them the other day and we weren't ready to leave the pool. So, he kept running from side to side and belly-flopping into the water. He actually was coming back up. It is cute.

Mindy, what a fun fam! All boys and all fun! Your early riser is much like my two. They get up with the sun...in AZ it is about 530AM. It was 5AM when we moved here. You have your hands full of handsome little guys!

I really like that paint color in your living room.
Way to go, Austin!
I'm glad you've had a nice summer with the boys.
