Aiden got to go to Skate America for his first time roller skating this week. He has gotten to do so many fun things at summer camp this year. I sometimes feel like I would like to be home but when I hear about all the fun he has going on a new field trip almost every day of the summer I know he is where he needs to be right now. I tell him all the time how lucky he is because there is no way I could take him all the places he has gotten to go this summer and he gets to do it with his friends, which is even better! We received his packet from his new elementary school (we are sending him back to his home school this year as he was in another school for the full day kindergarten class). His teacher's name is Ms. Valentine. We have orientation on Monday night and he starts on Tuesday morning!
Ava has been great!! Finally sleeping all night and it's wonderful! I took her to her follow up ENT appointment yesterday afternoon and he said her ears look great! We don't need to head back there for another 6 months! I took her to a going away party at the daycare center on Tuesday evening and she really loved looking around and seeing all the kids! She will start attending on October 18th. I am really excited as I think she is going to love it! Plus, that will allow me only one stop every morning and evening instead of two! Yahoo! It's the small things in life that get me excited anymore! 
Last night while Aiden was at football, Ava and I went out back to enjoy this weather as I am sure we only have a few more weeks left before it will be getting dark and chilly early in the evening :-( She ran over to the play house that has been retired in the corner all summer and I could tell she was really wanting to play in it so I carried it over and hosed it out for her. She loved going in and out. I think she will probably need one of her own soon, maybe for Christmas or her Birthday next year! I always wanted one that had flower boxed in the windows so we could plant real flowers in them :-)
Although summer is my favorite season and I am not ready for it to end, maybe because Chris has been gone for most of it. I would be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to all the fun that fall brings. I love apple cider and going out on our annual pumpkin picking trip. We didn't get around to planting our garden this year with all the chaos in our house so I was thinking about growing some pumpkins there for the kids. I need to find out how long they take to grow. I already have Ava's Halloween costume, although I need to add some embellishments to it! Aiden is still on the fence about what he wants to be this year but I guess we have a little time for him to decide. Of course, if he could be a red power ranger every year he would totally be one and not have any issues with it! He mentioned a oompa loompa (Chris didn't like that idea but has warmed up to it) then he said police officer (which he has been wearing two pin on badges to daycare every day this week so not sure he will be over that by Oct or not) Hard to tell these days what new idea will pop into that boys head! Gotta love him!
