Um, where did the summer go?
This weather is messing with my head! It's hard to imagine that school is a mere one week away when the sun is shining, the sky is so blue, an the temp is over 80! But alas, here we are August 27th, the school supplies have been purchased and tucked away in their respective back packs, with dire warning to their owners not to disturb them! Class assignments have been handed out and we are slowly moving bed time back to it's original location of 8PM.
I am still wrapping my brain around the fact that all three of my children will be starting school this September. True Ryder is only starting pre-school, but still! Two days a week for two glorious hours I will be alone :D I am thinking of finding a place to work out during that time. It's WAY past time to whip these flabby arms into shape! OR maybe just a nap.......
I am sad to report that I accomplished almost none of the tasks that I had set myself for the summer. I really can't even remember what most of them where... They must not have been that important LOL. The kids and I did manage to go camping sort of. We spent one night at pine hollow with my parents. And we spent the day at Milo Mciver for family camp. I decided not to stay the two night because it was in the middle of Erics week long trip to DC. I feel guilty about that, but I am just not that brave!
We also made a day trip to the beach with my folks which was a blast!! The kids were amazingly sandy but they had SO much fun! We started at the Tilamook Cheese Factory where we took the tour and had lunch. Then it was on to Rockaway to play in the sand. Ryder threw such a fit when it was time to leave!!
Erin and I got our luau themed birthday! It was SO much fun! Tropical food, tropical drinks, and an awesome cake from Beaverton Bakery thanks to Miss Rachel :D Someday I will go to a real luau.....Erin I am so jealous of your trip to Hawaii you have no idea!
