It's that time of year...

Back to school time!  I love fall...hurry up fall.  Doesn't it make you think of that scene in You've Got Mail?!  "I would send you a bouquet of newly-sharpened pencils, if I knew your name..."  I love walking the school supply aisles at walmart and stocking up on back-to-school clothes that won't get worn for months.  Sigh...ohhh, to be young again. ;)  Millie doesn't start school again until next week, but we do get to take her to meet her teacher and see her new classroom on Thursday!  Can't wait for that...and yes, she's already asked if Sawyer will be there.

Saturday, Millie woke up asking to go to Chuck E. Minnie Mouse.  Somehow, we convinced Amanda & family to meet us up there.  Both kiddos were running around like mad men...sensory overload.  We did manage to corral them in jeep together for a few minutes.

Classic Mills & Cayden: this is one of those rides that takes a picture of you and prints it out.  It caught a nice moment of Mills yelling "NO!" at Cayden for getting to drive the car.

Hi Syddles.  I never get any pics of her on these little outings because she's always asleep in the Ergo carrier.  Such a good girl...

And look how sweet baby Beck is...

The weather has gotten super hot again, so this week we've played outside in the water a couple of times.  These two crazies decided to combine snack time with water play.  Turns out those goldfish crackers cannot swim.  ba dum chhh

Grey was over for a playdate on Sunday to play in the sprinkler; these two play really well with each other.

Millie has really started to enjoy playing with others just in these last few months

"Oh hiiiiiiiii Syd" says Millie 20 times a day; she's very sweet with her

Syd and Stella

their skin tone is clearly not the same :)

We laugh about how Mills and Cayden fight like brother and sister....but sometimes they are sweet with each other too.  Like today at Little Gym when Mills got tired and laid down for a break...Cayden started loving on her.  Well, first he poked her in the eye a few times, but then he ended up just sort of petting her. ;)

Last week we had a great little picnic in the park with Amanda, Cayden, and Beckham.  Amanda wrote a little post about it here.
