Wrapping It Up







Well we have been busy squeezing every last minute of summer we could out of this last week. There is a chill in the air that wasn't there just days ago. The kids are getting excited for school to start next week and we have moved from spending hours a day in the water to building sand castles up on the beach. FHE was spent watching dad swim (which I of course missed the actual jump picture and only caught the standing on the pole and the feet sticking out of the water) and building sand castles.
We took a few hours yesterday to go thru drawers of clothes, putting away summer things
and finding a home for clothes that actually fit and will keep us warm this fall and winter. Cannon went to church on Sunday in a 3T shirt he found in his drawer. Nothing like a little boy in a belly shirt at church. When I buttoned up his buttons on his sleeves they were 3/4 sleeves. We heard a lot of comments about that shirt and have since found a new home for it in the D.I. bag. There were some tears shed by Cannon when we placed it there. He sure does get attached to clothes and they are never the ones you hope he makes an attachment too.

Poor Cannon. It's so hard to give up favorite things. Somehow at our house, things like that magically disappear when the unsuspecting child is sleeping. :) Out of sight, out of mind...of course when they get to be Cannon's age, they will probably remember and I won't get away with things like that. I wish we had a chill in the air-that's my favorite time of year, and we are still 100+!

I can picture that cute belly shirt. . . wish I could've seen it! Looks like you've gotten every little bit of enjoyment out of that wonderful lake. What a cute crew.

I think we have been many places with belly shirts and ankle length, tight pants :-) My kids definitely get attached to their clothes.
