Summer Fun

I can't believe summer is almost over. We've been having a lot of fun and are in denial that it's almost over. This summer was a summer of creativity! We are slowly working on our house (inside and out!) and have been trying to enjoy every inch of it. Some outdoor things we've done: Slip-n-slide, soccer, starting a veggie garden, learning to ride bikes without training wheels, etc. It's been fun!!

The girls loved having daddy make a slip-n-slide in the front yard

 Daddy also created a soccer goal for the girls to use…they did awesome with it!

We've also done a lot inside as well! We created a chalkboard in the basement, an art center, fixed up our school room (bc mommy is mean and is making the girls do school year round!), switched the girls rooms around and did some art projects.

We also got away to the beach for a weekend. One of our friends was preaching at a church in Charleston and we joined his family for a beach trip. We had so much fun! The girls got their own boogie boards and took to the water like fish!

watch her go!

Alley was getting really good at judging the waves and when she needed to push off. It was so fun watching them!

there was a storm off the ocean, so we were alone most of our time out at the beach .

there was a HUGE wading pool in-between the dunes and the ocean…the girls loved it!


pool time at our hotel!

We've also been getting together with friends this summer. It's been fun having kids over and just getting to sit back and watch them occupy each other:) I love this age!

MC and her "bwest fwend" playing duplos…and actually pretending together, not just parallel play!

We've been taking lots of family walks around Clemson and even found the Clemson Creamery…
a-m-a-z-i-n-g ice cream!

the girls called me into their bathroom and insisted I take a picture of them brushing their hair…they are a mess!

Here's to a fun end to summer!! I love summer, but I am sooooo ready for some football!!!
