These as always for me are out of order... the girls were rinsing off in the showers at the beach. I don't know how they do it the water was freezing.
Katie spent most of her time down at the water...
Allison relaxing at West Meadow. Katie is in the background collecting water.
Christopher and Allison hanging out and goofing off.
Natalie and Katie.
It seems like every week just flies by. I really need to get my photos downloaded ( I don't know how Denise and Tracy get it done so fast!). Wednesday I had a meeting at work and had to go in for few hours. My girlfriend Karen watched the girls... which was great because we haven't seen them too much this summer and Katie and Allison are buddies with her daughters Hannah and Ava. After work I picked them up and had to run a few errands... I hit the bank, and then stopped at Old Navy with the hopes of getting some school clothes. Allison is such a riot when in a store- she LOVES to shop!! I was really there looking for clothes for Kathryn- who is never as enthusiastic as Allie is. I am searching the girls section looking for pants in Katies size, and Allison is picking up every skirt and or skort she can find "Mom, can I try these on?" "Sure Allie! why not." I respond. She then picks up shirts that are too big, and ballet flat shoes that are too small. I tell her that she is picking the wrong size... so she proceeds to bring everything that she thinks is pretty too me so that I can check the size. They cooperated in the dressing room... and I was out of there for under $100!!! Next we stopped at Target to complete the school supply shopping- which btw is still not done- I cannot find the scissors that Kathryn needs. Thursday morning I had to stay home for a few hours and wait for a bed that Rich and I had bought. It was to be delivered in the morning. It came pretty early... so as I promised the girls we hit the beach. We went to the local town beach here... West Meadow. We love it there. It is small and never too crowded. It has a nice playground and a sprinkler section, it is on the north shore so it is a rocky beach... but it has great sandbars that the girls love during the low tide. Jill, Christopher and Natalie met us down there and we hung out for a few hours.
It was really nice. When we left there we went home and jumped in the pool... which was cold and very refreshing after being in the sun for so long. That night the girls were going to their first sleep-over birthday party. It was really exciting for them. My niece Emily turns 9 at the end of September.... but because she wanted a pool party, they had the party early. It started on Thursday night with a slumber party in the pop-up camper and continued the next day with a bunch of additional girls, until 3:30... poor Gretch. Rich and I were alone in our house overnight for the the first time in many many years. It was strange. I think it was even more strange to wake the next morning alone (Rich leaves for work at 5:30am- before I wake up). I was lonely. I had plans to meet Doug and Erica at Buy Buy Baby in Huntington to add items to their registry... after that we went to lunch at the California Pizza Kitchen. They were coming to stay over a for the weekend. I had to work on Friday night at 7pm... :( but it was ok- I was home by 8am (I stopped at the grocery store on the way home to pick up some things) Saturday was fun because the girls went for haircuts... Katie probably had about 3 inches taken off. It looks so healthy and nice. Rich, me and the girlies went with Uncle Dougie and Aunt Erica to look at a house for sale in Port Jeff Sta. :) They are thinking about buying a house and in the process of deciding where they want to live. They have looked as far up at Orange County and and possibly out here in Suffolk. I would LOVE for them to come out here... so we looked at a nice house. I have my fingers crossed. We all then went to Bob and Gretchens house for a Labor Day BBQ. It was fun, the kids went swimming and turned VERY blue. I was so tired after working overnight, so we left a little earlier than everyone else. I needed to sleep good. On Sunday we hit Target for portraits. I paid extra for the photos be online... so I can post here when they are available. I will take lots of pics in the morning- of the girls and the bus, and hopefully will post right away.
