End of Summer

It feels like summer ended fast --- lots of fun things but all jam packed together! So here is a quick recap to get back up to date :) 

We have a murphy bed!!!! 

Guests are welcome anytime :) 

 

How cool is this? Love how the basement is coming together. 

Thanks again JF Custom Remodeling! 

 

Isaac and Coco had their last day of daycare at Momma Bears. 

It was a good summer and I think ultimately going somewhere new in May helped with the transition to Rainbow this fall. His teacher Miss Bri made monkey cupcakes for him for his last day :) 

 

Our garden was awesome this year and I asked our neighbor Cindy to help me can some salsa. 

It was really fun and I am excited to start canning other things! 

 

The boys and I went to the farmers market while Patrick was biking across the state. 

I stupidly brought the double stroller and realized after about 3 seconds why I dislike people that bring strollers to the market. We chose to walk the outer sidewalk in the opposite direction and anytime we wanted to buy something we parked the stroller and walked across. 

It wasn't ideal - but it worked! 

 

The flowers were so beautiful I couldn't help myself! 

Next year our garden is going to expand to include flowers! 

 

That afternoon we went to see Landon play football in Poynette. 

It was pretty cool and I was super impressed by their teamwork and sportsmanship. 

(Way to go Coaches!) 

It was a drizzly and cool day - but we managed! 

Boys were excited to see Landon after the game - what a great big cousin! 

 

Patrick participated in RAW (Ride Across Wisconsin) with our old neighbor Tony. 

They parked their car in Kenosha and then got bused over to Dubuque where they spent the night and then got up at the crack of dawn to bike across the state! 

They did 177 miles in one day and had a great time!

We celebrated Jack and John's birthdays at the Conlon house. 

Lots of silly pictures of cousin fun --- these two drank their weight in Gatorade! 

Selfie! 

 

Still working on the potty with Isaac - he was doing pretty well but then reverted back with all of the school changes. But just last night he was asking for undies - so here's hoping we are getting this! 

 

We now have a lovely lady come to the house to cut the guys hair --- pretty great and easy :) 

I cleaned up from dinner while she cut their hair! 

Guess we are ready for fall! 

Hope your summer ended great too!
