Swimming in the Sacramento River, with Mt. Diablo in the distance. These kids don’t realize how good they have it!

Hailey begged me to let her do the dishes and I was happy to oblige! If only emptying the dishwasher at home generated as much enthusiasm…

We are making tent trailer dreams come true this weekend. A happy little voice woke me early this morning by whisper-yelling, “Mom! Dis is da funnest camping EVER!”

• 3 games (All at different times)• 2 locations (One without a bathroom??? We missed half a game due to a bathroom emergency and had to drive to McDonalds. Super lame.)• 100 degrees and very little shade (I don’t think I’ll ever stop sweating.)• But one of the best things about soccer Saturdays is all the friends we see at the fields! Hailey’s team even played her BFF today.

My fingertips are burnt and blistered from hot glue, but I’m stoked with how these team banners turned out! Top: Hailey’s, Bottom: Logan. My official transition to Soccer Mom is now complete. ️

1st grade and 3rd grade for these cute kids! Jake usually does the first day drop off but today was my first time. The tears caught me off guard! Hailey has the same teacher as last year with a bunch of her old friends so she was skipping and bouncing all morning, but Rush kind of got the opposite lot. He was quiet and seemed a little nervous this morning, and sometimes mothers feel their kids’ emotions 10x more intensely. But I’m sure they’ll both come home happy and excited for another great school year!

And just like that, summer 2017 is over! We partied hard this summer and we’re all ready for the change that school brings. We spent our last official day of summer solar eclipsing, pony riding, playing baseball in the backyard, and waiting forevvvvvvver for a late-night haircut. I’ll miss the spontaneity of summer break and all the adventures with my kids, but this mama is more than a little bit excited for some alone time! Maybe I’ll finally start answering all those pesky emails I’ve been getting for the last 8.5 years… #nah
