How did you spend this beautiful day in Maine? I got a tiny bit of spinning done - pictures later - but most of our time has been spent preparing for the start of school.
Although it seems impossible, Alec begins kindergarten this week. He and big brother Connor got new backpacks, clothes, and school supplies for the occasion.
(Can I just tell you how easy it is to do back-to-school shopping for boys? I asked Connor what he wanted and whether he wanted to go pick out a few new things. "No, you do it. I'll wear whatever you get." I don't personally understand this mindset, but I am thrilled while it lasts.
Alec humored me with his back-to-school haircut.


Too adorable.
The Knit at Night crowd took complete control of the end of summer/ TKE birthday week and surprised me with a lovely party.


Emily brought me the most gorgeous flowers. They have been making me smile all weekend. Thank you a million times over - they are beautiful and were such a wonderful, happy surprise!

Michelle supported my sweet tooth with the most awesome cookies.
They were insanely good - thank you!
And, as always, Karen made sure we all had a good time:

Thank you everyone! I don't know what I would do without such amazing friends. I can't wait to spend year #4 with you!
