a week of "yes"

The very last week of summer. The last week of no school and no activities. The last week of lazy mornings.

How did we spend this special week? I made it my goal to say "yes" to as many things as possible.




There were little things, like a special trip to the post office so Abby could mail a special package of treasures (two rings, a crayon, one sticker and some glue covered art) to a friend.

There was a day began wrapped in all the blankets in the house watching movies while eating dry Cheerios.

There were picnics in the backyard. There were friends, pools and Popsicles. There was painting in the driveway. There were treats from the ice cream truck at diner time (twice).

There was a trip to the Zoo.



There were visits to the butterfly garden and playground. There were overpriced carnival rides.

There was a trip to the children's museum, the one you ride the train to.





It goes without saying that the train ride was the highlight of the day.

We are looking forward to one final cookout this weekend, then it is on to school, soccer, ballet and gymnastics. On to cool nights, apple picking, hayrides and Halloween.
