It was check-out day at camp. Staff started leaving at 7am. I started packing in an organized way, and by the end, I was throwing shoes, clothes, toys and miscellaneous items into garbage bags. Unpacking is going to be a project (to say the least). Xander and Mary had one last light saber fight. Jacob and Xander ran around searching for bad guys one last time.<\/p>\n

I eventually got everything packed and the trailer somewhat clean. We said goodbye as each person left. And then we headed home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, I told Augustus about his new bed and showed him a picture. When we were home earlier in the summer, he was VERY close to diving, head first, out of his crib. So it was time to move to a big boy bed. All week long, he’s been saying, “cars bed!”<\/p>\n

He was SO cute when he ran into his room and saw his new bed! I’m not sure how bedtime will go when he can escape, but he’s very excited.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We got home around 3 and emptied Nate’s car and the van. The living and dining rooms look like a snow globe that got shaken. There are bags and toys and stuff everywhere. I passed out on the couch as if I’d been drugged- my body just turned off. Xander has had about 12 meltdowns. I think it’s safe to say that the post-camp hangover has already hit.<\/p>\n

The summer was FABULOUS. We swam, we played, we were wild and carefree. I loved falling asleep next to 2 snuggly boys and waking up to their sleepy, smiley faces. I love our cozy trailer- it’s small but filled with love and joy and happiness (and a lot of sand, dirt, and sometimes ants).<\/p>\n

Augustus hasn’t worn shoes since May. His vocabulary has multiplied times a million. He’s confident, friendly, quick to smile, quick to hold someone’s hand, and always willing to play with anyone. He has jumped off every single tree stump, chair, and anything else he could find.<\/p>\n

Xander has grown in confidence and independence. He loves fighting bad guys and loves Star Wars (despite never having seen the movie). He is bossy and outgoing.<\/p>\n

Both boys have grown and learned so much! They have been surrounded by supportive people who are always willing to listen to them and play and give them attention. It’s been a transformative 3 months. I am so grateful for this summer.<\/p>\n

Thanks for following along with our adventures.<\/p>\n

Catch up with us in 9 months! See you in summer 2020!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
