I realize that the official Summer’s End doesn’t happen for another month (exactly 4 weeks from today, actually) but since Princess Nagger starts school tomorrow, today is our official ‘end’ to Summer.  Part of me is sad about it, but part of me is tickled that cooler weather is right around the corner.   That, and with Princess Nagger in school I might actually be able to clean the house – and keep it clean longer than 2.5 seconds.

Princess Nagger lost one of her top front baby teeth early in July – the other one has been loose for quite a while, but refuses to part ways with her gums.  She had a Drama Queen moment a few weeks ago where I thought for sure the tooth would soon fall out.  When I told her ‘no’ to something while we were at a friends house, she tried to face plant on their cushioned ottoman – forgetting that just below the cushion part is a wood frame.

When her face connected with the ottoman, I heard a decidedly loud crack – and the blood that followed was a bit freakish.  She knocked that loose tooth looser – but instead of falling out shortly thereafter, it’s partly sideways and shifted more center.  She doesn’t like it when I refer to it as her snaggle-tooth.  But she refuses to wiggle it to get it to finally fall out – we even tried to bribe her by having the Tooth Fairy call and offer a one-week special of double her regular money…but it didn’t work.  I’ve been tempted to just pluck it out when she’s sleeping, but I can’t bring myself to do it.  I just hope the kids at school don’t tease her about her funny looking tooth.  Fingers crossed.

Since our Persian Norman died last month, Princess Nagger has been nagging us to get another cat.  This past weekend I decided to browse craigslist to see what was out there – and found a 2-year old spayed and declawed female calico.  The owners needed to find a new home for their kitty, because she was having a hard time with the lack of attention because of a brand new baby in the house.  Long story short, we got the cat.  She’s a very pretty cat, but she’s been in hiding for the past two days.  I think if I were a cat and saw two crazy dogs and three crazy two-leggers staring me down, I’d be in hiding, too.  When she finally gets acclimated to her new digs, I’ll take a picture.

Wrapping up the summer, we crammed a few things in…like Fossil Hunting in the backyard:

"I just know there's a dinosaur fossil in here somewhere!"

Bubble Blowing:

Watching the birds line up for food:

Visits to McDonald’s with friends:

I even made time to rack some wine:

Since the last two months have been extremely hectic (and stressful), time flew by too fast.  But since my favorite season is Fall, I’m not bummed about the summer flying by too fast.  As long as Fall takes its sweet time for complete enjoyment.  Besides, the end of August means the beginning of some fun for me – tons of grapes and apples to harvest, tons of wine and jelly to be made.  That should keep me out of trouble for a while.

Are you planning any last-minute Summer Fun?

Now would be a good time to head on over to check out Keely The Un-Mom for some fun randomness.   Like right now.

  1. I’m a sucker for McDonalds pics. PN’s hair is so long, wow. My girls made me cut their hair short when they were her age, it broke my heart.
    I’m glad you replaced your cat so quickly, that was a smart thing to do.
    My only plan for the last few days of summer is trying to squeeze in some more swimming before it turns cold.

  2. You mean to say they STILL FACE PLANT at 4???? I thought that was just a 2-3 year old thing! It just gets worse doesn’t it!

    Congrats on the new cat, she will settle in eventually, and she has to eat sometime!

  4. Summer vacation is over here and the weather is feeling like it, cool mornings, hot afternoons. We are gearing toward fall here. Blowing bubbles looks like a great way to spend an afternoon.

  5. Princess Nagger sure is a cutie…she takes after the Queen for sure! And yes, I am so glad Fall is coming, that is my favorite time of year also. Fossil hunting sounds fun…actually was my favorite classes in college.

  6. I can’t believe hot big your princess is getting!!!
    Sorry to hear about kitty. I know what you mean about the dogs and cats.

  7. I think my kids lost their front teeth the same way… by something smashing into their faces. PN is getting so big. They grow up so fast… you better not blink.

  8. I hope the tooth comes out soon! My oldest had a tooth like that and I finally convinced her to just let me do it and it came out so easy!

  9. Fall means lots of apples and I am looking forward to that. I want to make lots of things with apples and even pumpkins this year. I am finally settling down and am enjoying changing out the colors in the kitchen. This little hippie house is becoming more homey all the time. I really like the picture of Princess Nagger in your yard. She is looking at the bubble so studiously.

  10. Great to see you back! your summer looks great, lots of entertaining I see. I did a lot of the same. 🙂 I think we’re having a cook out with our boys on labour Day weekend, but we’ll see.

  11. Ugh, it turned into being Not Summer At all here really quickly. It’ll probably be ridiculously hot in October for about two days and everyone will say “Oh, that makes up for it!”. Like it really does.

    Oh, look, CommentLuv doesn’t think I exist now either. sigh. Stupid feeds.

  12. Ouch on that tooth. There is always that school picture for all of us when we are missing teeth! It’s been awhile since you have talked about making wine. Looks like she had a nice summer. I love blowing bubbles.

  13. Ouch! I just don’t like loose teeth. Sam just lost his first and I was so relived when it finally came out.

    Can’t wait to see the new fur baby!!
