and....I'm...Caught...up! Last picture post until something else exciting happens!

 Claire playing with her new race car track.  She is a very happy 2 year old.

 Me and Peter on our 6th anniversary.  We are getting old but we are happy.

 The girls at the zoo watching the camel rides.

 Violet LOVES ET the walrus.  She didn't want to leave, not even to see the otters which is usually her favorite.

 The girls in the hall showing off their fantastic artwork on the wall...Magic eraser anyone?

 We went over to my grandparents house and played on the beach and had a family dinner.  It was so fun to see everyone, and it was one of the last hot days of summer ( this week has been obvious fall weather, I'm over it already).

 Me and Peter at the beach.

 Sunset on the sound.  What a gorgeous view.

 us at sunset.

 Grandma and David in Uncle Jeff's mustang.  Jeff fixed this car up before he passed away and it is so beautiful.  David brings the car to family gatherings.  It is really nice to see the car it reminds us of Uncle Jeff and the fun times we all had with him.  I remember when he took us for a ride in that car for the first time.  I just sat in the back and held on tight because he went like 100 MPH....probably shouldn't tell mom that.

 On our last day home before school started the girls and I made rice krispy treats.  The recipe called for cake batter and sprinkles to make them more fun.  I have the recipe on my pinterest page if you want it. The girls had so much fun making the treats.  It's the perfect thing to make with little kids because it's really just stirring and stirring and more stirring.

 Violet and Claire are so different from each other.  Claire would wear sweat pants every day of her life and Violet loves to wear dresses and heals.  She even wears heals with her swimsuit, maybe she is practicing for Miss USA.

 Violet cut her own hair again after watching Tangled.  So We cut it up to her chin.  Dang tangled.  Also she tried carrying around a fry pan one day.  That got Vetoed real quick! I might have to censor disney from now on!

 FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!! HURRAY! Violet has been asking to go back to school for weeks!  She was so excited when I told her we were going on Tuesday!  She could hardly wait.  We were there 10 minutes early.

 At first Claire was jealous that she didn't get to go to school.  She even tried to sneak in to preschool and stay.  But she has discovered that when V goes to school she gets Mom all to herself which is exactly how she likes it.  On wednesday we ran errands and she was just chatting with me the whole time and then we went to a park and she got the whole place to herself since everyone else was in school.  She was in Heaven!  Today she fell asleep on the ride home and slept for two hours.  I took a little nap too since the dishes and laundry were mostly done.  It was the best 2 hours!

Violet loves school so much that once we are there she can think of nothing but to get to class, and when I stopped her to take a picture she made this face at me.  I guess I can't complain.  I have a kid that loves going to school!
