Round 2 of InstaFriday!

Today's harvest (on Saturday) from the garden!

Me and Bru got out for a nice evening walk Saturday night. 

On Sunday morning, we met some friends at the elementary school playground.  Josiah and Marley are two pals that will be joining Will in Kindergarten this year and we thought it would be fun to bring them together to play at their new school before school begins.  The sibs came along too and us moms had a great time chatting while all the kids played on the awesome playground. 

The tomato bread salad I settled on when I needed to make a dish in a pinch for our birthday cookout for my mother-in-law.   I love this recipe and I was psyched that I had everything I needed except for the bread, which Craig picked up on his way home from work.  Love summer salads!!!

Maybe one of my favorite pictures EVER!!!  Considering blowing it up and framing it.  It just defines the innocence of a carefree childhood in a single picture and somehow I caught the waning summer sunlight perfectly!

Finger lickin' good!  Enjoying some BBQ ribs. 

Treasure chest day for our Little Dragon.  He got a prize for good behavior in class. 

Poor Will managed to get an ear infection (defined as "swimmer's ear") this summer.  He never complained in his daily walk around life, but even the slightest graze of his left ear and he'd wince in pain.  I took him to the doctor on Thursday to get some prescription drops and then we decided to get our school supply shopping out of the way afterwards.  We stopped for ice cream at Cold Stone as a treat - strawberry with sprinkles to split.  My mom always used to take us shopping for clothes and supplies each August before school started and then we'd go out to lunch... just like my grandma did with her.  I figure, we'll work up to lunch.  Most of his new clothes came via mail (as nearly all my kids clothes do) and we were already past lunch time.  So ice cream was our treat. 

Hey, Casey!  Don't be such a behind-the-times nerd!  Join me in writing InstaFriday blog posts!  Everyone's doing it.  ;-)
