I can't believe we've already made it to September. I don't know what happened to the summer. It went by so fast and we stayed so busy. I have a hard time keeping up with everything during the summer. Since we don't have a sprinkler system it is a pain to keep the yard watered and the garden is a lot of work. For some reason I planted six rows of green beans, thinking I'd bottle a lot this year and not have to do much next year. They weren't very long rows, but I will NEVER EVER do that again. Those plants produce like crazy and it seemed like I had to pick beans every other day in order to keep up. I thought I'd quickly post a few pictures and then do a birthday post since Connor's birthday is coming up.
Such cute boys!
Josh spent a lot of time swimming this summer. He swam in his pool on the deck, we went to the city pool a few times, and he had his first swimming lessons with his cousin Jordan. He took swimming lessons from a lady that teaches in the pool in her back yard. There were only six kids and two teachers, so Josh really learned a lot and is an amazing swimmer for his age. He is fearless and would stay in a pool all day if we let him.
While Daddy went to Scout camp, Josh and I had a camp out on the deck on the blow up mattress. We took the baby monitor outside with us and left Connor in his own bed. Josh was so excited about it that it took until 10:00 that night before he fell asleep. The boys had fun playing on the bed the next morning until I put it away.
I'm not entirely sure how Connor ended up with a whole container of animal crackers, in the front room, all by himself. He is pretty mischievous and sneaky. He has the ability to quietly disappear and go get into trouble but he is adorable and that is what saves him.
This was Josh's first day of school. I can't believe I already have a kindergartner. It seems like just last week he was Connor's size and now he's starting school. I can't believe how big and smart he is getting.
The same day Josh started kindergarten, Connor got to start sleeping in a big boy bed. I was expecting to have to chase him back to bed a hundred times for the first several nights, but to my surprise, the kid actually stays put. There was one day during nap time he got out a couple times, but he normally doesn't get out of his bed and if he does it is only once.

I am glad to hear Connor is being so good at staying in bed.
Ya, I can't believe you have a kindergartner already. You were pregnant with him at our wedding! You are really amazing to work so hard on your garden. I plant the plants, then wait. I seem to forget about watering and weeding!
Cutie little boys!
