We hit the ground running in August with Nutcracker camp!
Kerigan just loves being in the Nutcracker so this is always such a fun week to kick off the season!
One day I picked her up and we got her school supplies. This soon to be second grader is growing up way too fast!
Her camp put on a little show for the parents at the end of the week so we went to watch.
It's always fun to watch our girl do her thing!
Then a couple weeks later these girls had Nutcracker try outs
She and her bestie found out they get to be Bakers in the Nutcracker this year!
The girls were getting ready for a sleepover to celebrate and had to photo bomb their brothers, ha!
Avery's brother Brady just loves Andrew and looks up to him so much! Andrew wishes he had him for his little brother!
Matching sleep masks for the win! Ha!
Park day picnic with McDonalds! We don't want summer to end!
Avery went out of town for the weekend so we took care of her dog and hamsters. Kerigan loves their dog.
Andrew more prefers the hamsters. Ha!
The girls built this fort and Belle hangs out in it more than they do! Ha!
The kids like to go with me to the pet store to get food for Belle. Andrew loves the ferrets!
Just chillin with Belle
Andrew went to tennis camp at dad's school the week before school started. It was a super hot week but he had fun with his friends!
Out to celebrate after the end of camp
And this is a sign that it's time to go back to school. Andrew said he was bored and wanted to vaccum for me. Ha!
So I put this girl to work too!
Right before school starts is the best time to learn chores, right?
Practicing her summer reading!
We visited Ga Ga and Papa another day and went to our favorite restaurant in their town. The kids love it because they have this little area set up while you're waiting for a table and the TV plays old, vintage cartoons! So fun.
I had to introduce them to my favorite from childhood... clown cones!
Dad was getting his office ready so we took the kids over to play one afternoon. They left messages for the high school kids when they got back to school. Ha!
Andrew attempting to lift weights, ha!
These two are peas in a pod
And this is what she'll be doing when we all go back to work and school in a few days!
She's getting lots of attention now!
Twinning in their robes!
Kerigan drew this precious picture which I think perfectly sums up our summer together.
And these two wanted to have one last sleepover to end the summer.
