i am actually bummed that school is starting after labor day! we have had nearly a month off from activities & it has been sooo nice. there have definitely been days where the girls have had too much of each other, but overall, we have filled the days with fun outings & time at the rec center. i dread getting into the strict schedule that is half-day preschool & dance. 

we have our beach vacation to seaside coming up in a couple of weeks, & so many adventures planned for the fall that i'm looking forward to- lucy's 5th birthday [!!!], fall festivals, shows that i'm taking the big girls to, apple picking, the pumpkin patch, a day trip with lucy & meme to the laura ingalls wilder home [we're nearly through the 3rd book of the series & so look forward to this special time each night after baths!] + all of the fun that comes with school, dance, fall & cooler temps!

happy labor day weekend- to pull the pumpkin decor out yet or to wait... that is the question ;)

xoxo,
