The last week of August found us making Austin's 9th birthday cake. He dreamed up an ice cream cake, & we were able to buy all the safe components to make it happen.
Weeks ago, when we asked Austin what he wanted to do for his special day, he replied, "Boy time." So I called up Michelle & asked if he could spend the afternoon with her 3 boys, doing boy things without any sisters around. We showed up right after lunch to eat ice cream cake together. There were 2 additional boys whose mom needed to drop them off at the last minute for childcare.
We took a look at the list we made in May of things the kids wanted to do this summer, and sadly we had not accomplished many items. Patrick realized that there was a Somerset Patriots game with fireworks in the middle of the week; and there were tickets in our favorite row available!
She is on a puzzle kick.
We had scheduled a Sandy Hook beach day with Siena & Stephanie back in July; we were so grateful that we were all well enough to enjoy it! It was cool enough to stay out of the water, and the kids had fun building a pit with windbreakers made from towels & shovels to protect themselves.

Summer is for reading, yes?
Dad took them all out for a bike ride.
Dinner at Faith & Emsley's house; they played outside until it was dark. We love summer evenings in big back yards!
Amelia & I went to an Indian celebration in our neighborhood; while we were gone, Austin & Colleen wanted to dress up in their Indian clothes.
