RIP Summer

Wait, what? Summer is over?

I can't believe it. 

According to my phone, this is how we spent our last half of the summer...

We had sleepovers in Mommy's bed while Daddy was out of town for work...

Watched the clouds....

Played at the library...

Visited Cadillac Ranch and found out Matt & Cami's big reveal!

Watercolored....

Really LOVED watercoloring...

Ate a steak...

Mowed the street...

Became a princess at Memamaw and Gramps'...

'Helped' Gramps mow the lot...

Played in his office...

Test drove some trucks...

Rodeo-ed...

Tried to boss horses around:

"HORSIES! My name is Ileigh Grace. You come back here, right now".

Learned how to get lots of candy at the parade...

Vacuumed up messes...

Had last t-ball games...

*Finally* got that trophy!

Got major haircuts!

Had lunch with Daddy at the Courthouse...

Took Baby Polly on a stroller ride...

Practiced our ninja skills...

Did half-year photoshoots...

Hosted a neighborhood ice-cream party...

Painted the living room...28 color samples later, we found the *right* grey/gray/greidge...

Shot a wedding in Red River, and snuck in a little fun too...

Stylin'!

Played lots with baby Polly...

Took one last summer stroller ride...

Practiced our beat-boxing...

Went to the Zoo...

Made pumpkin bread...

Got a new screen...or finally used the one we bought almost a year ago...

Went to 'meet the teacher'.

My heart is stirring with so many emotions tonight. I can't believe all the anxiety I'm feeling entrusting someone else with my amazing little boy every day, all day for preschool. All the excitement for new learning and new opportunities- I'm sure a more in-depth reflection is coming.

At this moment all I can think is:

S*** just got real.
