What a great summer!

I'm going to start off by saying we've had a great summer.  First we found out that we're expecting a junior or juniorette come January of 2012.  We then got to go to Denver, Colorado on a business trip for the hubster.  Finally, we got to go to the most magical place on earth, Disney World.  With so much going on, summer has just flown by.

Alas, all good things must come to an end.  Today was a chilly reminder that fall is definitely on it's way.  We spent our Labor Day cleaning out the basement in preparation of finishing it.  That is a HUGE project in itself.

Montana and I are very excited to start "School Box" box this week.  I got some new bins for organization and we're all prepped and ready to go.  With school box comes waking up early (boooooo).  But there's only so many hours in a day and I've got to get more somehow, so it comes with waking up earlier.  We're still working with the Calvert Pre-K program.  I bought it for her when she was two, with the intentions of taking two years to finish the program.  She's writing her letters, getting real good with phonics and math and I'm thinking we may breeze through the rest of the program this year.  Montana is also starting her first real extra-curricular activity.  We signed her up for dance.  Well, actually pre-dance for 3 and 4 year olds.  We're very excited.  I hope she likes it.

I'm also looking forward to fall foraging.  I'm on the prowl for some giant puffballs to cook up. YUM!

Here's some pictures of our adventures this summer.

Montana got to participate a lot in the Circle of Life show.

I think they were in her personal bubble.
