Don't look too closely at the paint job - but I'm pretty happy with what a few cans of spray paint can produce. [Buckeye coloring was not intentional - C wanted red and I wanted stainless, with granite countertops].

Cincinnati
We spent the weekend in Cinci visiting my high school buds Summer and Erik and their 3 cute kids. First stop: Newport Aquarium (Newport, Kentucky! not to be confused with the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Oregon).
The shark tanks were awesome but my favorite was a huge octopus that was getting fed and enjoying a head/body rub from an aquarium employee.
We all went to a Red's game Saturday night. The stadium was amazing and the fans were really feeling it. The kids and their dance moves were featured on the jumbotron so our evening was fufilled.

Block Party!
We have awesome neighbors. Every fall they close off the road for a block and have an all day party with kids running crazy and adults hanging out in front lawns and the middle of the road. There are about 20 houses involved. This year we even had a bounce house (five steps from our front porch -lucky us!).
I'm not sure what got crazier - the water ballon/silly string/shaving cream war that the older kids planned or the after-party "bar" on lawn of the house across the street from us (we could hear that one going well into the wee morning hours).
One neighbor, firefighter Jason, brought in a city fire truck for the kids to climb in and opened a hydrant to spray off the shaving-creamed kids.
Eric learned the ins and outs of "cornhole." (A midwest tradition that I am going to have to do a separate post about.)
And Cadie was content to be driven around by the cute boys.
It wouldn't be a block party without a pot-luck dinner and a pinata.
AWESOME!

End of Summer?
When C woke up from nap today it was 90 and humid so we headed to the pool. This is likely the last pool day as it closes on Monday. Boo Hoo. I'm getting excited about fall but wish the summer could last a little longer.
The neighborhood kids are back in school. We woke up on the first day of school and one of the neighbors had left back-to-school messages for all of the kids.
