Summer's end

Working in the front yard
Bored kids making the same circles in the driveway on their bikes
Hose in my hand as I water the flowers.
Hmmm...

The mom in me said, "but they're in dry clothes!" 
The kid in me said, "yes - dirty play clothes and it's 90 degrees outside. Attack!" 

I completely DOUSED them with water. They looked like they were going to cry - especially Carson, who was so shocked he didn't make a peep for about 10 seconds. Then Ella burst into laughter and charged over to turn my own weapon against me. I let her win.





The next day we did lunch and a little window shopping with Anna and Kelsey...




And met up mid-week with the Trowbridges for a concert we thought Ella would love - THE FRESH BEAT BAND! Little did I know that you were about 6 months too "over" this, my little princess. So there you sat, looking around for anyone to relate to—as you pretended not to know every word and every note. But alas, your silly brother and Ty danced for the crowd like they owned the place.
