Time for School

there is always a little lul before school starts when the kids start to get fussy and board with summer. For instance, Saydie just walked into the kitchen, looked at me for a second then fell face down to the floor. Arms and legs sprawled out like giant letter X she moaned, "Ahhh-ooooh...I'm dead. Mom, did you hear me? I'm dead."
I guess they are ready for school to start. Skyler seems to be getting more and more cranky as well.
Other than the humdrum our summer has been pretty good. We had an awesome fourth, and are excited for the big Labor Day picnic coming up. For now we are content to just continue hanging out.

Saydie is like a female Tom Sawer

I am so glad we made a fire pit. The kids have loved it.

Skyler loves to help cook dinner.

They are best friends (most of the time).
