The Past Few Weeks... (Err Month)

The Little Man still doesn't start school for another week... so I am still in the trenches with the two kids, but I thought I'd share a few pictures from how we spent the second half of our summer vacation. The first can be viewed here. I feel like this summer was one where a lot of things happened, while at the same time there was nothing really of note. Really, isn't that what life is like with little kids? You spin and spin all day long, and at the end of the day it is sometimes hard to remember what exactly it was that you did for the last 10 hours. Well, at the end of the day, everyone (usually) went to bed with smiles on their faces, so I'm pretty sure we all had a good time.

Here is some concrete proof ;)

We spent a lot of time playing in the water. 

even when it wasn't as hot as we would have liked!

the little man perfected his "non-training wheel" bike riding, and now we bike everywhere...
whether I like it or not. this is usually my view, from FAR behind. 

gray couldn't wait to get in on the action.

we spent a lot of time making out, once gray learned to "kiss kiss". die. melt. die.

and we continued our superhero obsession.

we got manicures (something the little man has been begging to do for a year now)

and, of course, most days were spent at the skate park, looking cool.

the little man, and i, took a day trip (and our bikes) up to Singing Beach, on the commuter rail...

...which we dubbed "the most awesome place to have lunch"

last, but certainly not least, this little guy learned to WALK!!! he's not very good yet, which means I am constantly on the verge of having a heart attack every.second.of.the.day.

That's what we've been up to! 

I hope to be posting more regularly, once the big man is in school. Until then, I wish you all some warm, sunny days, It's going to be getting real cold, real quick in these parts, which makes me a little happier to chase the endless summer... for at least one more week.
