The End of Summer is Near...

Alex was doing his best to convince me he needed to float in the pool. I gave him the hose to fill the deflated pool, he put a cm of water in it, got naked, then peed in the pool so that was the end of that.

Norah was enjoying the sandbox....

First Day of Pre School!

After I picked Alex up from his super successful first day of preschool, we walked down to the beach and had some fun!

Alex movie: The Apple Tree Song - he learned it today at his first day of preschool and he loves to sing it! We sang it about 10 times before we went to bed.... so cute!

Our friend Melanie got married the same day as Norah's birthday, so we missed the actual wedding, but got to enjoy part of the reception in the pouring rain and had a great time!
