Thursday

and I think it may have finally cooled off around here.  A storm rolled through and took the humidity with it.  I am hoping it stays cool for a few days.  I am tired of the a/c.  Met mi madre at the outlet mall today and picked up some school clothes for the boys, a bed at Pottery Barn for Austin, and some new sun glasses for me because Cole lost mine while we were in Pottery Barn.  It was hot, and it wore us out.  But we made it home before the storm so all was good. 

Here are some cool things growing in my backyard.  The yellow flower is on a gourd plant.  Last fall we had a party with lots of gourds as decorations and the kids and dogs scattered them everywhere.  Now we have gourd plants everywhere.  In the sandbox, by the driveway, in the middle of the yard- you name it.  The other flower is so very cool- they bloom every year and are always a surprise.  I guess I forget about them.

Today was the last day of camp for the older kids.  They spent the day at Alum Creek.  Can’t believe that summer is almost over and school will be starting soon….
