So, we are savoring the last moments of summer...
ripsticking
fishing
(He caught several sunfish and bluegills. He also caught something else, but you'll have to stay tuned to find out what it was...)
enjoying nights at the lake
eating up the popsicles
powerwashing the house
rollerblading
enjoying soccer tournies
(The opposing team picked one player to give the sportsmanship pin to and they picked little man. He was stoked.)
and deep cleaning before we start hibernation.
Look carefully. You might even be able to see the carpet.
I was feeling a twinge of sadness (as I sifted through photos) thinking about bidding farewell to summer,
but I have enjoyed the anticipation of fall as we gear up for the cooler temps. We are settling into our new schedules and routines nicely. We managed to weed and prune all the bushes this week. And I even pulled out my fall seasonal totes. (Pics to come soon.)
So, overall a great week. What have you been up to? Are you having smiley moments?
I will miss summer too, but I am really ready for the fall! We have just been hanging out around the house the past few days. In a week and a half we are headed out for a road trip to Colorado. So we are just relaxing and enjoying home for now and preparing for the trip! I hope you are having a great weekend. I can't wait to see what else he caught!
ReplyDeletewe have also had beautiful weather. Are getting used to the school schedules and just hanging out. The hubby is an OT freak these days, so not much family time- but what we have had is GOOD. :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa, I love the shirt your son is wearing in the first photo! Hawks play today... wish them luck :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like y'all are having a great time! I love those pictures, especially the popsicles! I'd love to have one of those right now.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how fast this year has gone by. Halfway through September already?
Beautiful pictures as always, Alicia! I can't believe how fast summer passed. Almost feels like I missed it!
ReplyDeleteWe too are enjoying the cooler temperatures and although I can't believe summer is essentially over, I'm excited for fall and our corn and soybean harvest. Love the photos as always.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, great memories! :)
ReplyDeleteThe skateboard, Popsicles, and soccer trophies bring back a lot of memories of when our son was younger. Now he's a soph in college.
It's nice that you got some perfect weather at the end of the summer to really enjoy it.
ReplyDeletePersonally I like fall. I love the smell of it, as dorky as that sounds.
Lots of great memories there! I love when fall arrives, I really do....but our fall tends to be hot, so I wish it would cool down sooner!
ReplyDeleteSo many great memories and smiles captured! Love it! Right now I'm taking full advantage of being outside with the beautiful weather. After the heat of the summer the weather we're having now truly makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteYou P365 layout is awesome!
Beautiful photos. Looks like a fun week. :D
ReplyDeleteGREAT photos...looks like you and your family had a fabulous Summer:)

I have never heard the term 'ripsticking' before. i love the of your daughter and her roller blades.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo´s! Hey your daughter loves Ikea, too. My daughter has the same chair!;D Oh how I whish the summer would stay much longer, too. Over here it´s already rainy and kind of cold. I think my husband and I will move to Mallorca when we are old. We just don´t like the cold weather.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful day!
