Week 32

Welcome back and happy Tuesday!  We had a very full, adventurous weekend and just got back late yesterday so this will be quick.  School starts Wednesday (tomorrow!) which is why we escaped for some fun before the craziness.  I think we're ready but still not excited about it.  

Regardless, take a look at last week's pictures:

Day 218- Sunday, 8/6/17

I actually got the back-to-school shopping done early since I knew we'd be away the weekend right before school starts.  Also as the kids get older they require less stuff so it wasn't too bad this year.

Day 219- Monday, 8/7/17

These two have been working hard the past couple days to fill sand in the base of a new basketball hoop Brandon got for his birthday.  They are so close and hopefully almost done.

Day 220- Tuesday, 8/8/17

I was trying to get a picture with Bella when Justin accidentally photo bombed and distracted her in the process.  Opportunity gone! Yep- totally sums up my crazy life right about now.

Day 221- Wednesday, 8/9/17

The boys are dishing up dunner and Bella is ready to clean up any possible dropping mess.  She knows them well.

Day 223- Thursday, 8/10/17

Field trip with my work crew to Bodega Bay for some oyster sampling.  It was refreshing to head to the coast and get out of the lab for a bit.

Day 224- Friday, 8/11/17

What a busy Friday for this kid!  Justin got his schedule and ID for the new year, had a dr appointment, and then went to a cross country kick-off bbq.  These kids are his cross cross country friends that he had a blast spending summer with. 

Day 225- Saturday, 8/12/17

It's like pulling teeth to get Justin to drive.  He just doesn't like it, but it's a life skill so he must learn.  Today he conquered the freeway and did a really good job without complaining or flat out refusing so I rewarded him with a cool treat which was a surprise that he was super happy about.  Maybe the freeway won't seem so bad after all.

That's it for now.  See you next week.  Goodbye summer!
