Beach!!
Sand dollars ............
and waves can mean only one thing..........
We made one more trip to the beach to squeeze in the last bit of summer!!
Eric & Ansley inspecting their "loot"
We went down to Jekyll Island off of the Georgia coast and had a blast playing in the water.
These rocks behind An serve as a barrier for erosion.....at high tide these rocks are all that you see as the waves are crashing over them and there is not any "beach" to play on; at least that was the case for the part of the island where we were staying and where we would go to play.
A really cool bridge to get on/off the island too.......goodbye summer, it has been fun.........see ya again soon!!

My brain
Conversation between Mom & Austin tonight:
Austin: Mom, we learned about lying today at school and I was thinking in my brain, that we probably don't lie at our house, so I thought in my brain, I won't lie at Mom & Dad's house. So I think my Mom & Dad would not want me to lie at their house.
Mom: So does that mean you would lie at someone else's house
Austin: (thinking....looking at Mom.....)no, I don't think so because I don't think their Mom & Dad would let them lie either.
Mom: Okay, I don't want you to lie at all.

Happy Grandparents' Day!!
Today, Ansley was getting ready to talk to all of her grandparents, and decided to let Charlie have a try at talking to her relatives...she sat down beside him with my cell phone in hand, and lifted up the flap of his ear (he's a lab) and put the phone under the flap and had a pretend conversation with "dandad"....I laughed until it hurt!!
Happy Grandparents' Day!!!

To whom?
On our drive to school this morning I said to Austin that I needed to make a brief detour to mail some cards....
AC: To whom?
LT: What did you say?
AC: To whom are you mailing the cards?
LT: I guess you are paying attention when I correct your grammar ....
enjoy your Friday!!

Labor Day
We spent three days outside in our front and back yards during the Labor Day weekend working on our yard and all of our neighbors...we should get cul-de-sac of the month!! It all culminated with smores in our backyard on Monday night....
Ansley LOVED them!!
Austin and some of the neighborhood girls roasting the marshmallows
Ansley explaining to the camera that it was completely appropriate to eat with your fingers :)
Hope you all had a happy Labor Day too!!

Antagonizing
So Austin was laying on the couch the other day reading a book and An walked over to him and started trying to read the book too and Austin deadpanned said to her "Anzy will you please stop antagonizing me." I died laughing....seems those words of the day from Grandad have a lasting impact ;)
Camping
Austin, Eric and Eric's dad, Barry, went fishing and camping the weekend after Ansley's surgery so that she would have some peace and quiet and be able to recuperate a little easier than having a 4 year old around....they went to Carter's Lake, GA and the entire time Austin kept saying "I sure do like Carter's Lake" implying that it was his cousin Carter's lake and Carter had loaned it to them for the weekend!! Very cute!!
This is a shot of what they looked out at from their camp site on the lake
This is a shot of Austin going up a water fall....Hook'em Horns hat and all!!
nap time....looks comfy
another shot of the lake........they said it was beautiful
