Last Drops of Summer

that's what this post encompasses.....the very last drops of my summer.  The sweet smell of chlorine and hanging out with my favorite little bud every single day. 

And so it's true my summer has come to an end and TODAY is my very first day of school.  I will be calling home about a million times.  hah!  I spent the most part of last night doing lesson plans after I put my buddy down for the night.  Then, I thought I really needed to blog because it felt like forever since I was on here even though it's only been a couple days. 

So, as I say goodbye to a great summer I wanted to savor the last drops of it, such as hanging outside at all costs in a tiny little chair with a snack.....in front of my pretty flowers. 


making sure to thank Auntie Kathy for buying me this adorable little chair to sit outside in.





playing in my backyard in my car.


hanging out in my pool even if it is an empty pool...




getting in some last days at the pool before all the lifeguards head back to "learn" something for the school year.


doing some "Last" minute jumps off the side





tossing the splash ball around a bit of course.


Ahhhhh!  need I say more.


feelin' that water on your face.


feelin' out more jumps off the side.


getting in some "last" throws in from your dad.


hangin' out on your dad's shoulders






oh yes...these were my sweet last drops of summer.





sipping on a juice box in the heat soakin' wet


and of course the "little" things that always come about when there are littles around....Like playing in a water fountain can be so much fun






especially when one thinks it's so cool to try and catch that water in your mouth



yep that's just what I did...soaked up every last drop of it...

with pure joy and excitement as I watched my little boy grow so much over this sweet summer and learn, learn, learn.....that he did!


and pranced around......that he did too!


 
And although, the hot weather sure is not over.....I look forward to the changing seasons, where the leaves change colors, my little boy grows taller, bon fires are upon us, bobbing for apples is the thing to do, and ghosts and goblins are on their way.  I can't wait!  And in the midst of all that my little boy will turn 2 and he'll be walkin' the streets one night in something cute that I have not yet decided on-lol!  And all this will be going on and I will try my best to take it all in because time flies when you're havin' fun-right?!  IT's the little things that have made my summer and most importantly it's the SIMPLE things that have made my summer such as snuggling in the morning with Grey, watching Mickey Mouse, eating breakfast together, going to the park and pool, visiting with grandmas and grandpas have given me pure joy this sweet summer.  So, now I am soaking up every last drop of it and yet ready for what's to come.
 
See you next summer........it all comes again and again and we're always ready for the next step.
 
Happy Friday Everybody!

Mornings are for...

lots of things around here.  They are for snuggling, watching Mickey Mouse in bed, drinking juice (for Grey), and coffee for the adults (much needed caffeine for what lies ahead with a toddler) but this particular morning -today - called for other things......


waking up early in Grey's world (of course) and taking the dogs for a stroll......


visiting Dee Dee and papa even if Dee Dee still has her rollers and PJ's on - (remember this blog is the REAL deal -what you see is what you get-lol!)  (I know Deb's Holy Family gals will get a kick-lol!)


Mornings are for running around with a flashlight and whatever else you can find in Papa Davey's garage...


Mornings are for looking at Auntie Mims through the door because she is pretending to moon you!


Mornings are for playing in vehicles only when parents are right there...


Mornings are for fixing things with papa's tools...


Mornings are for checkin' out your cool ride.....


Mornings are for checking to see if everything works on your cool ride...


Mornings are for going over the details of your cool ride with your papa


Mornings are for having a cool wrench in your hand and fixin' up some training wheels....


Mornings are for making sure the screws are tight with that nifty wrench...


Mornings are for double checking your work and your tool "skills"


Mornings are for taking it ALL in....


mornings are for up close and personal shots....


But most importantly today.....on this morning.......


it's for bringing Dee Dee "good morning" flowers on her birthday even if she is looking mighty fine and dapper in her rollers and PJs!
Happy Birthday Dee Dee!

I Scream.

You scream.
We all scream for ice cream.
In the front yard.
In our diaper.
After throwing a tantrum.

You see a special little man that's extremely close to my heart is Mr. Independent these days.  So, it was a night that mommy said was a night for an ice cream break, however mommy thinks that every night should be an ice cream kinda night.  Well, when you add in a tired baby with a short nap that day, the heat, wanting to eat his ice cream outiside, in a cone, all by himself, there are bound to be some setbacks.  Let's start from the beginning.  So, we all get in the car and we are happy, smiling, and "dreaming" of our ice cream.  Well, we get there and I order Grey a baby twist cone (my bad in 95 degree heat) and the minute the lady handed it to me Grey wanted to hold it all by myself, but he was NOT licking it, he was just holding it so it was melting all over the place.  So, I tell Nate to take the cone from him while I go ask for a bowl to put it in.  Let me tell you, you would have thought I cut Greyson's arm off.....starts screaming, throws himself to the ground, everyone is staring at us.  So, what do we do ........make a mad DASH and get the heck out of there...Grey cried the whole way home.  Then once we calmed him down  - he was given his bowl and literally "drank" his ice cream......There was no need for a spoon by this time...So, we sat out on our front steps like any parents would do and watched with enjoyment as our little boy ate up all his ice cream and made a complete mess!



Not too many people could pull this off!


Who could resist this!?  I mean everyone that drove by waved to Greyson-lol!



I was still enjoying my ice cream as well and loved my view of the little stinker running in the front yard full of ice cream running down his belly!


Mr. Serious at the time...


Something made me laugh but I can't remember what it was...


Messy Messy yummy ice cream on a hot summer night.




Heart to heart...


After the ice cream was all gone....you can only imagine what we did next!?  TUBBY TIME!
