August

We had lots more fun outside this month.

And I became the resident block mom it seemed.

Lots of fun and learning inside too.

Raspberries and play at grandma and grandpa's.

 Birthday party with a pinata! The kids LOVED this.

Sunday best series.

Today I went on a day date and it was the best. 14km run by the river (including a new 5k personal best), lunch for one, mani/pedi, and shopping with only necessary talking.

All. By. Myself. #thanksmom

 Miracle treat day at DQ was a hit. #parkinglottailgateparty #squarebody #cruisenight

You can't tell by their faces, but this was the highlight of their day. So thankful for the friendly pair of gentlemen who proved that firefighters are our friends.

I've been devastated for YEARS thinking I foolishly purged my yearbooks. I literally squealed with excitement today when I spotted them on a shelf at my parents' house. I've never been so happy to look at awkward teenage pictures of myself!
