Last night around midnight Jeremy and I were awoken by the the water being turned on in the boy's bathroom. I got up to see what was going on to find Riley in the tub with his pajamas on. When I asked him what he was doing his reply was "I just felt like taking a bath". I am not sure if he was sleep walking, or bathing, or if the urge to take a bath was so strong that there was no time to take his p.j.'s off either way I am glad I am a light sleeper.
We are so fortunate to have Lorenzo is the ABA therapy program that we do. They are AWESOME!!!!!! Nearly every weekend they have some sort of adventure planned. A few weeks ago it was ice skating then paddle boarding and today it was kayaking. Lorenzo was having one of his days but warmed up quickly. He loves one of the skills trainers (pictured in numerous shots with Lorenzo) and if anyone can get Lorenzo out of his funk it is Mr. Matt. Riley missed out on kayaking today because he had a sleep over at school for student council. Yes you heard me right, I think it is a bit strange but maybe it is just because we never did things like that when I was in school. We missed him but he had a ton of fun at school. 
Here is Riley's first attempts at surfing. he only wiped out a few times and I think the instructor fell off the board twice. He loved it. Aces hooked up with this awesome organization that takes kids (and adults) who have disabilities surfing. It was so much fun to see all of these people out there helping each other. They are awesome, they even took Riley so he would not feel left out.
Well summer vacation has come and gone here. The kids went back to school today (with the exception of Liam, he starts Tuesday) and the house was quiet without them. It was nice for a while but I have a feeling I am really going to miss them during the day especially since Jeremy is gone.
Lorenzo had a wonderful day with minimal crying and was super happy when I picked him up. That always puts me in a good mood. Riley loves his new teacher and is excited about a bunch of the new classroom policy's they have lol.
I also thought I had better put up some pictures from Liam's birthday. Jeremy this is for you! We missed not having your harmonies :( We love you!

Here are a few pictures of the wands we made last week. Lorenzo has become obsessed, I have been making wands all week. He is coming up with the designs and it has been my job to make it. he about flipped out when he discovered he had left his favorite wand at the store while we were school shopping but what a relief to be able to tell him "that's ok, we can go home and make more".
