Friday Favorites: My Last Week of Summer!

I have had a really sweet last week of summer! We've tried to fit in all the things and have had a ton of fun enjoying the simple little perks of summertime. It's sad to see summer go but thankfully I'm not feeling any anxiety (at this point at least!), instead I'm just super excited about my 2nd year in PreK and a fabulous school year! Who would've ever thought I'd be saying anything of the such?!? Haha. #Goddid

Here are my favorite happenings from my last week of summer...

*Monday was AnAn's birthday and my mom decided to host a little breakfast get-together to celebrate! It was SO fun and such a great way to kick off our week!! 

*The whole crew! 😊 It was just us girls plus the kiddos since all the guys were at work. It was a delicious and festive morning celebrating the birthday girl!

*My mom even put out lots of photo booth props... which the boys had a ball with.... 

#thatface Hahahaha! (My kids live in underwear now, ha)

*Harlie participated as well. 😊 We had a great morning together!

*The boys have played together the very best of the entire summer this week. (Figures. Sigh.) I've been sooo thankful!! All week they've enjoyed "bowling" with dominoes in the kitchen. Layton came up with the idea and after setting up all of their dominoes they take turns knocking them down using one of our "inside" balls. This new game has probably taken up hours of their play time this week.  

*We spent some time in my classroom this week too! I've been busy trying to get a head start on things and my sweet para got our door ready for students! The only thing I have left to do is to add their names on the hot air balloons. Yay. 😊

*We also tackled our school supply shopping this week! #phew #alwaysanadventure We love Target for school supplies because everything is neat, organized, and NO CROWDS. So we are pretty much guaranteed a good experience. Or as good as possible with my 3 guys in tow. (Layton was present but not pictured). We also made a stop for the boys to pick out their first day of school shirt. I gave them free reign and they were excited to pick something out all by themselves. 

*The boys have loved playing out in the driveway this week. Even in the heat! They've done all sorts of fun things outside and come in stinky, sweaty, and happy. 

*We got to enjoy a play date with Piper this week too! The cousins had lots of fun together. 

*Layton really put some miles on his motorcycle this week. He got it for Christmas and has been a cautious rider from time to time in the months since.... until this week. This week he became a pro. And the cutest motorcycle driver ever. 

*These 3 have been sleeping the same room for most of this month.... and this week we decided to make it more permanent (an every night thing that they don't need permission for and it doesn't have to be a special night to happen). The Selph boys are thrilled. Mainly our littlest man. Haha. Garrison occasionally hangs out with his brothers in bed for a while before going to sleep in Layton's room, but most of the time they all choose to be together. And now that it's become a regular, nightly occurrence we decided we're good with it. It actually helps with the bedtime routine a ton and has so far stopped Layton's night terrors. So we're going with it! 

*My boys FINALLY got haircuts this week and then we enjoyed an afternoon trip to DQ for ice cream. We had some drama leading up to our trip but all's well that ends well. 😊

*Layton Thomas. His silly face. 😊

*Pool time with my loves is the best! Especially when everyone is getting along. Especially then. Haha! 

*Watching a show every night with this guy has been a favorite all summer. I've stayed up too late most nights, but that's just another summer perk!

*We've binge watched Seal Team for the past few weeks and LOVE it. We recorded it during the Fall with the intention of watching it this summer and it has not disappointed. We have 2 episodes left and then we'll be ready for the premiere in September or October!

This weekend we are looking forward to our "Big Summer Weekend" with the boys. We're planning to enjoy our last outings of summer before we head back to school and jump back into the busy and crazy that come with it. Happy Friday, Happy Weekend!!
