The two elder childrens went swimming this evening, at about 8:30, Night Swim!
We are into week two of swimming lessons in the early evening at the Town Pool, for the two of the three younger ones.
The three big ones' stuff is packed, the luggage picked up, and they're set to go to camp on Wednesday.
We've spent at least five of the last (late) afternoons swimming.
We've had hot dogs for dinner at least once a week.
We've gone for Slurpees at least three times in the last week and a half.
I have to check the driveway for bikes and riding toys and chalk before I pull out of the garage.
I need to replenish the box of 200 freeze pops.
The deck rails are covered in towels every evening.
We walked to fireworks (at twilight) sat on a blanket, we all reeked of OFF!, surrounded by cousins and neighbors, watched fireworks for close to thirty minutes, and walked home in the dark with a mass of people on the usually empty sidewalks.
The day camp bag is packed.
The car smells like sunscreen.

Oh how I love that "sunscreen smell" :D
(please follow up with the "end days of summer post... you know - the one that has the melted sticky freeze pop film covering every banister. The one that has sand tracked in ever corner of the house. The one that has kids pickin' their flaky sunburned skin on to the living room carpet.... where'd you think that lovely sunscreen smell came from? It's from the bottle of sunscreen that never got used b/c it leaked all over their lovingly packed day camp bags :D )
