August recap

Yes, I realize I am 3 months behind!! I am trying to get caught up so here we go- these are some of the highlights of August before Eleanor went back to school!
We had a fantastic lunch playdate with some friends we don't get to see that often- the Blackburn's- Christopher & Reagan (on the right) and the Grupp's- Bela & Emma (on the left)
Emerson would rather be in the play kitchen than the real one!
We can't forget about sweet Katie Blackburn also- only 2 months younger than Emerson. I see a great future playmate.
During the warm summer months, the Children's Museum of Rock Hill is a wonderful place to cool down and let your imagination run wild. Emerson was a train conductor
and a stowaway on a pirate ship.
Grocery shopping- not one of my favorite thing to do with both kids. Thank goodness for the car carts to keep them entertained! I am glad that Emerson is big enough to sit in there with Eleanor now. 
We brought back some of my old dance costumes from Texas- Eleanor really loved dressing up in them. We look forward to the Spring 2012 when she will be wearing her own costume for her first dance recital!
Post-nap cuddle time
Sprayground cool-down
Eleanor's 1st 100 piece puzzle! It was about different careers and she chose about 10 of them- I have no doubt she will do it all!
It took Emerson all summer but he finally enjoyed the bouncy chairs at the Y waterpark.
This little brother wants to be wherever his big sister is
And Eleanor is happy to be there to teach Emerson everything she knows!
For the last day before school started, we went to Space Kidets for some jump fun.  Emerson found lots of open space to crawl
Eleanor found some big slides to go down
This active girl had a blast jumping up and down
This sweet boy wasn't sure what to think of it, but I think he will be doing it all soon!
Action shot!
