Last "full" days of summer!

Whew! We made it through the summer. Tomorrow morning is Micah's "Kindergarten Visit", and then Thursday, they will be IN SCHOOL! Yippie!

Yesterday I took all three kids down to my friend's summer house in Rhode Island. She has a boy Sam's age and a girl one year younger than Micah, and the kids all get along great. See photos below. It was a long day - we ate lunch, then went to the beach for a few hours, then dinner. Sofia had a blast on the beach; she was tired, so at one point she was just lounging on her tummy, shoveling. She was coated with s. Later, she conned my friend into giving her a ride on the scooter. She was also sound asleep by 2 miles down the road when we left.

Today was also busy. Babysitter arrived 9am. First I took Sofia to the playground for her EI (co-treat with OT and Speech). Then I dropped her home and picked up Micah to do some errands, including getting his bangs trimmed (he's decided he want to grow his hair, too). Then I dropped him off and picked up Sam to go see Ratatouille. Cute movie, although the rat images were sometimes a bit much. Sam and I made a quick stop at the Christmas Tree shop, and I bought the boys "Boogie Boards" for the beach (yes, a day too late). Then I picked up all the kids and we went to the pool for a while.

Here are some photos of Sofia at the beach and on the scooter:Sitting Pretty

Uh, mommy, is this good for my skin?

Yuch, I got a mouthfull of sand!
Never too early for your first facial, right?

Faster, lady, faster!
