One more week

Next week will be our last of this summer break. This has been an amazing summer. Moving to NH was scary for me. It is something we have talked about for such a long time and I didn't really think it would ever actually happen. My husband was sure that it would be the best thing for our family and, well..cough, cough..he was right.

Getting outside is as simple as, "Mom, I'm going outside." (Or me saying, "Aaagh, you boys need to go outside!") Before it was a big process because we had to go to the park.

Splitting the bigger boys' bedroom up has been a relief. James can happily keep his space spotless and well organized, and Sean can build his castles and leave them out to be played with the next day.



So here's us. At home. :-)


The boys doing what they do best, getting sweaty and dirty, and inflicting pain on one another:



















This is the expression that has been on Sean's face the most of late. He. is. testing me.



















Randomly added photo of my cat, just because I love him.



















And this is what happens when the toddler is left alone with his dad for too long. Yep, bubble gum. Luckily he didn't like it and promptly spit it out and handed it back.
