The end of summer?

I have to say that we had a pretty good day today. I feel like the summer is coming to an end, but we haven't been able to do a lot this year, because it has been so unseasonably cold! We hung out at home this morning, then went to Fredric Meijer Gardens in the afternoon. THEN, we went to the SL beach after dinner. I feel like I am jamming in all of the stuff that I wanted to do this summer into the last few weeks. Thursday, I want to go to Chicago!

PS, I LOVED the gardens!!!

Pics to come later.

Peeee U!

Jake: Mom, do trees poop?

Mom: No Jake, trees do not poop, why?

J: That tree that fell over stinks, and I just wondered????

Alright then!

It is funny to look back at these pics, as he said this today, and realize that kids are smelling it and plugging their noses. I think it stinks because of all the moisture at the base of the tree and down in the roots, and whatever fungus, etc has been growing down there all this time. These pics are from like 2 weeks ago.

Just a peek!

Ay, yi, yi, it has been sooo long since I have posted anything. It's not that there aren't a million and one things going on in my life, but I just haven't been in the "mood" to blog. We have had a busy summer, even though the weather hasn't been the greatest, but this week it is finally calming down. This is the first week, all summer, that Amaya and Jake get to sleep as long as they want, and don't have to get up and get ready to go to swimming or tennis. Ahhhh, this is how the summer is supposed to be!

Hopefully, I will get back into blogging, like I was last year at this time!!

Here is a peek at how big the kids really are now!
