Reflecting on summer

Now that we're in fall mode, Nina has been reflecting on summer and how she misses swimming.  We went to the St. Paul pools 37 times, the zoo 6 times, and to 21 concerts at the lake.  We all miss our daily trips around the lake and taking in all it has to offer.  The rest of the time they enjoyed coloring, playing on the iPad, going to parks, taking bike rides, visiting the library, playing on the porches, finding and running from bugs, drinking chocolate milk, and screaming.  It was another great summer and we didn't get cheated!

 

Currently, the girls are still having fun at school and daycare.  Nina was thrilled to make her trip to the dentist and Pip did a great job too.  They enjoyed meeting baby Owen and it was great to see Adam and Megan back in Minnesota for a bit.  We're trying a new reward systems with stickers and end goals to see if we can get Nina to sleep through the night.
