vacation might be over. but it's STILL summer!

there was a week between coming home from our last beach trip...and school starting. i guarded that week with all i had. i wanted to ENJOY this past week with my kids before the fall started and all the schedules that come with it!

we had SO much fun.

started out with surprising them with SUGAR cereals for breakfast! we don't eat cereal. ever. so this was a HUGE treat for them! (they did realize they were hungry an hour later... ;-)) and then i let them watch cartoons! (and then they did chores...)
i made sure to have some sweet, relaxing moments for myself, too! i read 3 magazines in a row on my front porch one afternoon...i have no idea what the kids were doing...
when we went to rock creek part in DC a few weeks ago, we each brought home 2 rocks to paint. we did that this week.
went for a spontaneous bike ride to "the hidden pond" (about a 6 mile ride - round trip) one morning.
but school was starting to be on everyone's mind...we had meeting their teachers and back to school night throughout the week... :(
