It's been so different this year to have Patrick in school full-time, and Charlie goes three mornings a week. Maggie and I get to spend quite a bit of one-on-one time with each other. We get to do fun things, like swing...
On one of the days Charlie wasn't in school, we met my mom and nephew at the zoo. The kids got up close with some sea lions!
It is neat to see the sea lions swim above us!
Rory had a fun time on the train!
It's so much less crowded going to the zoo on a weekday during the school year!
We also visited the pool a lot in the final days before Labor Day. A few times we would pack dinner and go swimming after school.
By the end of the summer, Patrick could swim the length of the pool by himself!
On our kids' birthdays, they get to choose a place to go for donuts. Charlie chose Dunkin Donuts and loved every sweet bite!
That afternoon we had the family over to celebrate. It's nice to have older brothers that can read cards and books to you!
I made this cake and these cookies for our Spider-Man-loving boy.
FOUR!
Jim had a day off in early September and so we took the two youngest to a day game against the Cubs. We ran into my good friend Connie's parents on the way in to the game.
We also got to get up close to a Clydesdale before the game.
Such a sweet father-son moment. They love the Cardinals!
