The Last Week

For our last week of summer break, we tried to shove in as much fun as we could. Pat was gone on a work trip and everyone else had gone home, so it was just the three of us.

We met some friends at the park one day. Gabe got legitimately stuck and it took both me and the other mom to pull him out…

Freddy took a nice long nap while snuggling with a pair of pants. Doesn’t every cat do that???

We built some magnatile towers, sometimes filling them with Timmy, Puddles, Fox and any other snuggle buddy they could find.

We had some extra cardboard, so Gabe was inspired to make shields.

This meant that we’ve now had a lot of epic sword fights.

And then on Friday, it was the last day of summer. It was Josy’s last day of daycare ever, which was a little hard on his mama…

I told Josy that he could pick a special treat for his last day of school and he picked hot chocolate.

And then I dropped him off for the last time.

Gabe was crushed that Josy had picked hot chocolate over donuts, so I told that we’d celebrate his last day of summer break and get donuts anyway.

Then later he got some snuggles in with some of his favorites. I think he’s calmed down enough that Lucy trusts him now because she will regularly snuggle in his lap now, which never used to happen.

Then we had Gabe’s second-to-last soccer game of the year.

It was a crazy week and I’m excited that routine starts again next week…
