End of summer

The end of the summer has been really busy for us. My birthday was last friday...34 now, YIKES.  The kids are both in preschool three days a week starting today. We had a vacation week last week; part of it was spent as a family with my inlaws on the other side of the state which is always fun and relaxing (with plenty of pool time) and then for a couple of days it was just Mr Rae and me on the town in Chicago (to see some of the things I bought whilst birthday shopping, check out my fall wardrobe board on Pinterest). We got home just in time for a fantastic Crafter's Meetup on Wednesday (forgot to take pictures, OOPS) and then for my birthday we all went out to the Jolly Pumpkin for dinner and then got ice cream at Washtenaw Dairy. Yum!Anyway. That's what I've been up to, just in case you were wondering.
