Last Day of Summer

Today marks the last day of summer vacation for the boys. Of course there are things we didn't do or get done, but visiting our family in June and early July were the most important and fun.   I also have to reflect and say this was a pretty easy summer, as in the boys are older and entertain themselves pretty well, even when "screen time is over" - no tv, computer or phones. 

Here's just a glimpse of today, right now as we prepare for tomorrow's back to school day. 

Buddy enjoying his last day to lay around and play on his phone. 

I'm busy getting backpacks ready to load with all the new school supplies, which thankfully we got two weeks ago. 

LG is enjoying his last day with computer time watching Lego Star Wars videos.  He LOVES them. 

When he's not on the computer he is busy playing Legos. 

He's been working on this base for about 5 days. Last night he went to bed early and Babe got into it and damaged it.  LG did spend about an hour this morning making repairs. 

I'm also getting uniforms ready. Ahh, the white shirts I have a love/hate relationship with these. That's another story for another day. 

And there's this guy, who has been running wide open since 7 AM.  Yes, he has a towel, a rope, a hat, and a pillow.  I have no idea what he's suppose to be but neither does he.  He's completely obsessed with ribbons, strings, and ropes.  He stays busy tying things up all day long.  Thankfully his knot skills are not advanced enough to ready hinder by day much.  ie when he attempts to tie all the drawer handles together or door knobs to chairs, I can still open them. 

The photobomb.   

Here's to a great last day and hopes for a great school year!
