3 months later....

....I will blog. I finally made time to sit at my computer and do something other than FB, Pintrest, and bank. I logged on and realized its been almost 3 months since I have updated. SHEESH!..

As I am dusting the cob webs off the blog, it made me realize that life is fast. No matter how slow we may be, its fast!
The school year ended great! Everyone is well on their way to the next grade. Which another reminder as I type I need to start school supply shopping. I like doing it early and by myself. No extras get thrown in and I can beat the last minute crowd.
My sister is pregnant with her first child! I am super happy and ready to meet the newest addition to the family. She wants a girl. I think its a boy. But we find out on the 26th at their gender reveal party.
My husband has hardly been home this summer. He is working a lot and we have had to post pone vacation once, but we will be heading out for a 6 day vacay on the 28! And I cant wait. I just want to be out of the house on something other than a grocery trip!
My 4 year old has a blue Mohawk! That he patiently waited all school year for! People love and so does he.
We spend a lot of time at the pool. Not as much as the kids would like. But enough time. Its been hot and in the triple digits one week and in the cool upper 70s and lower 80s one week. Weird weather!
We had a great 4th of July and I hardly took any pics of that.
I am getting more brave with my camera and I actually took the kids out around town and we did some pics and had great props and daddy will love that I didn't spend 220.00 on photos that I can clearly do myself ( now that I have the right editing tools :) He will have a great birthday celebration when he gets home in 10 days! his bday was yesterday, but he was working.
I am at a halt on planning the gender reveal party for my sis and her husband. Invites are out. Décor will be bought next week and then all I will need to do is food and party and get ready to shop for babay!!!
I am going to get off here and start on the kids picture project for daddy. I have never applied pics to metal and I need to get busy so I have enough time in case I have a hiccup in the project!
HAPPY SUNDAY!!

Where did September GO?!

My son was looking at the calendar the other day. Trying to count how many days to Halloween, he turns around and looks at me and says...."Where the heck did September GO?!" I laughed and said you are too young to worry about where the time is going! But yea I have no idea where it went. It seems like my post here lately is dwelling on where all the time went. Its definitely going by fast! And it doesn't help when every other post on Facebook is counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Geez people can we just get thru the first 6 weeks of school?! Speaking of school i have a a rant about the system. Or the lack there of anyway: I remember being disciplined in school. If I broke a rule I was sent to the office where my mom was already waiting for me. (Didn't help that she worked at my elementary school) but still. So not only did the principal lecture me about how talking in class and being disruptive was disrespectful, I had to get an ear full from...

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...
