A Week Before School Starts!!

So we are down to the last week of summer.....for Ava!  Mav doesn't start school until after Labor Day.  We have been out and about trying to get familiar with the new surroundings.  We went to the Zionsville Street Fair and Dance on Saturday after a day of furniture shopping!  Zionsville is a small town that looks like it came straight out of a picture book.  It has a downtown with a cobblestone street and little shops and restaurants.  It also has a festival almost every weekend.  I should have brought my camera......Ava actually went on stage with the band for a song!

We have been busy swimming and playing with our neighborhood friends.  It has been so nice for the kids to meet so many kids before school starts.  Ava is so excited for the bus....it has been talked up by the neighbor kids!  This is a huge plus for me since I couldn't get her to ride it at all last year.

I need to get better about bringing my camera with me.  The kids and I had a little photo booth fun on the iMac.  Also, I had to show this beautiful drawing by Ava.  We got a craft table for the playroom and put all of the art supplies up there too.  This has really been nice for the kids to have easy access to all of their art supplies.  They have spent so much time at it already, plus I love that they are keeping busy doing things away from the electronics!

Love these two!

Although, they can drive me a little crazy!

 

I think there is about 400 pictures of just the two of them on photo booth!

This picture is a drawing of our family.  Matt is saying "love you" and Ava is saying "love you too".  Now on the other side I am saying "get down" and Mav is saying "no"!  Pretty much sums it up!!
