Goodbye Summer!

We had a super fun Summer and can't believe it is already time to say good-bye to it!! We enjoyed our time together as a family (sometimes more than others) and are sad to see the lazy days of summer come to a close!!

We are gonna miss our lazy days by the pool!
Taking crazy underwater pictures...
squirting random strangers with our water shooters...
Time outs by the pool for doing the above...
Laying out to get dry...
We are gonna miss the early morning adventures with dad. Collecting rocks by the river, watching the sunrise, and treat breakfasts!
We are gonna miss pool parties with family and friends....
Using illegal fireworks...
Kid's begging for another root beer!
And playing with out of town cousins/nieces/nephews that seem to grow too fast too soon!
Making random creations like imaginary gyms, imaginary restaurants, and having to pay real money to utilize them. (below is the imaginary gym that cost $.25 to get into. Luckily the kids gave me a job as a cashier to pay for my membership)!
We will miss our many lego and block cities that were strewn about my floor all summer. Austin was so cute to make sure to take lots of pictures.

We will miss the many forts that were made of blankets in every room in the house~ Somehow everything is more fun with a blanket draped over you!
I will miss Austin's notes to the cleaning ladies that ask nicely for them not to clean up a certain lego creation or city that he has placed somewhere in his room. Sooo funny!
And I will miss trying to come up with fun things for the kids to do so I didn't feel so guilty about the hours of television they took in this summer!! It doesn't count if they are playing with bendaroos while watching tv right? HA!Mostly I will miss these naughty little boys! Their funny jokes, their helpfulness, their excitement for mommy school, and even their oneriness!
Good bye ice cube slip-n-slide...

Good bye Summer!
