2nd and 3rd

Frankie pretty much wakes up ready to go. I mean, just look at that hair. #blessed

D and I love hanging out together while the girls are at school.

We're trying to appreciate the time we have together and we've been doing a lot of laying around talking.

chic's got a lot to say, always. And we're pretty codependent on eachother, so it works. And I'm only halfway kidding on that.

No photoshoot is complete without silly faces.

Later a red faced 1st grader told me all about her second day of school.

And one very expressive 3rd grader.

That night we met up at the pool. I can't believe we only have one more week of pool nights!

On Friday we spent a leisurely morning doing more of that laying around chatting. D has been such a momma's girl, that she would hardly go to Matt.

Delaney and I picked up Joni and Adam and headed to the park for our first littles play date of the school year. Things were rough going there for awhile. Delaney was all "mommy, watch me!" and "mommy, come over here!" She's never like that, so it was weird too. She was the oldest one, and it took a long time for her to warm up and play.

I remember Lana bringing a little pre-k aged Grace over to one of our baby playgroups (forever) 7 years ago, and how she was the oldest one there and didn't really want to play. Now my baby is doing the same thing. Sassy 4 year olds.  This big girl!

As soon as we got home from the park we headed over to the pool for time with our wee ones. Our sweet British friend Justine had invited us, and she's never tried to organize anything so we wanted to support her. And it was actually nice to be there with just the babes. Matt came too and they played and played. 

I went up to the school early to PTA. The girls have been begging me to let them walk home alone. All in good time. 

Kim had texted on Thursday and said her hubby had been overbooked and she had an extra ticket for the Goo Goo Dolls concert. I couldn't name a single song they sing, but I love the Marine Museum venue, so I figured why not?!?

We met up at 4 and headed over to beat the traffic. We got dinner at a new little restaurant on Solomon's island. I got mahi mahi tacos and they were yummy. They brought the check in this cute hollowed out book. So clever.

The concert was fun. I recognized about half the songs and Kim, Anne, and I had fun chatting.

It was hotter than hades. Which was a bummer because it was nice all week, and then Friday got hot and humid again. It was crazy hot. Crazy. Hot. The bands mentioned how hot it was too, but they used much more colorful language.

And week one is in the books!
