Leaving their mark on the last day of another summer.

The handprints just keep getting bigger.

I may not have gotten a letter today but at least the dog did.

Also.

Note to self.

Work on comma placement when she gets home.

8 am and the vacay mojo is already dissipating.

Much like the tans we spent a week carefully cultivating.

Back to reality, my babies!

Yes this shot is 100 percent posed.

But still.

Coming home from vacation totally sucks.

Especially when your first-day-back’s agenda includes items like chocolate chip pancakes, outdoor recess, library, rock climbing, after-school hip hop, tennis with your besties and pizza for dinner.

Because it’s Wednesday.

And on Wednesdays we have pizza.

When we left for vacay a week ago I couldn’t pay the nine-year-old to brush her hair.

Now she doesn’t make a move without this sucker in her hand.

And so it begins…

Stone crabs from Jake’s + Peppermint Stick ice cream at Sloan’s = Da bomb!

Vacation math is so much better than regular math.

I’d like to thank Steve Jobs for making this dinner at Lucca possible.
