Loving the end of summer....kind of...

With the hustle and bustle of kids getting ready for back to school, and families  and children returning from their cottages or camp, retail stores make room for Fall fashin and mark down prices on summer clothes.  It is smart to buy clothes for your kids, one age up for the following year, saves you a bundle and can even sport the larger size this season still.   I love to buy one size bigger for the following summer, also, buy ahead for gifts as well.  Even with the bigger sizes, after a wash and dry allows for a bit of shrinkage and a lot more bang for your buck!   Can't go wrong with $3.99 prices for ts, $5 bathing suits at Bonnie Togs, $1.80 tanks at Target, the list goes on!

I'm also seeing Halloween costumes and Fall decorations too!  I'm picking my brain on what to dress miss d, miss e will be a pumpkin, hand me down costumes from her big sis, helps me save a fee $$!  :)

Summer coming to a close

I've been reading everyone else's great stories on their blogs, and love all the great tips and ideas and pictures that have been posted. 
Life has been busy, having baby girl #2, who is now 5 months old, days just pass me by. I think of things to write about and just put it on the back burner for now. 

Here are a few thoughts for now...

Summer is coming to a close, as the Great Exhibition Place just opened, signals to Torontonians, back to school is around the corner.
We will be taking the girls this week to experience the excitement and hope to start a new tradition every year.

We also went to Canadas Wonderland, on one of the hottest days of the summer, we barely survived :)





 
 


Fall is around the corner and looking forward to doing a Fall family photo shoot, now that we found a photographer that just photographed my brother in law's wedding last weekend. 
Leading up to Halloween, what to dress the girls in and do we take our two year old out this time?

Then comes Christmas, my most favorite time of the year!  My daughter knows the words to Jingle Bells, and has been singing it this past week! 

Bye for now!
Ps.  Hope to write more frequent and post some great pictures.
