The last of those wonderful Summer Days

Climbing oh-so-high on the bars, even though it's scary!

How's the view from up there?

The Big Bean and Butter harvest our tomatoes
before the grasshoppers get them.

The best part of summer nights...staying up late with Pops!

We love doing crazy things like making a batch of meatballs in the middle of the day, just cuz we can!

Nothin' better than celebrating the end of summer with an ice cream sundae party with our PTA friends.

Butter has "graduated" as a dynamite swimmer

to the intermediate level.

She readily swims the length of the pool

and has improved her "big arms"dramatically

after watching Michael Phelps swim!

Butter starts her first weekly ballet/tap lessons at Footlights. In September they will be in their new location and Butter will be in the big girl class...
the 5-6 year old's!

There's always enough time to enjoy dinner and dessert with your best pal! Bug Bean is starting Kindergarten this year. Many of Butter's friends will be in school 5 days a week. Kids have been in school for 3 days and she already misses the freedom of playing with them during the course of the day. She tells me she is ready to go to kindergarten...now!
