the musings of a san diego mom who loves her city, her life and her boys.

so long summer

since the boys go back to school tomorrow,
summer as we know it officially ends.

since the boys were knee high,
their san diego summers have a few constants.
these are: summer sitters, water, sand and POPSICLES.
{and during heatwaves, we all have more than our share}

the boys love rocket pops, but these were prettier to post.

and i realized i hadn't posted a picture of anna, the boys's 2012 summer sitter.
she was born in russia so the boys got their first exposure to the russian language.
{they told me it sounded "so cool" when she talked to her parents on the phone}.

finn {8}, anna k., and scout {5}








































she adored the boys and shed a few tears when she said goodbye to them last week.
we assured her we would all see her again as we will be calling her when we go on
'date nights' throughout the year!

~ as i was setting out the boy's school clothes tonight, this conversation took place.
scout: i'm scared about starting kindergarten and going to a new school
{and before I could get a word out to comfort scoutie}
finn: don't worry scoutie, i'm popular at the school. i can show you everything!

now finn didn't mean that in some arrogant way at all.  he was just being matter of fact.
he knows the point loma campus like the back of his hand, and not just explorer elementary.
but the 2 high schools and the 2 middle schools as well. his daddy has been dragging him all
over the campus' since before he could walk. the staff knows him well.
we are fortunate to have the situation we have, so very fortunate.

BIG day tomorrow- first day of school. we're all so excited!
