Wrapping up summer..

17 days and school will start. 16 more mornings where we can sleep in. 16 more nights of staying up late. 17 more days of the kids eating every thing in the house. I will be glad to be back on a routine. I think the girls will be glad for the early mornings, although Jessie loves waking up before 7 am during the summer, getting her out of bed at 6:45 am during the school year is like pulling teeth! I will be glad to have the house quiet again. My grocery trips alone and quiet and no need for all the extra crap they think they need to get by on the long hot days.

We had a good summer. A relaxing summer. Concerts in the park. Friends birthday parties. Family Reunion. BBQs with family. A wonderful 4th of July. A week at the lake. Jill and I finally finished the 10 seasons of Friends. I finished a book! We had long lazy days at the pool. But I am glad its almost over. Jill is highly anticipating seeing all her friends, where as Jessie is already counting down the days to next summer. Jaxon...well...hes just hanging on to those lazy mornings and the summer mohawk! A few more beginning of school year chores to check of the list and I will be ready to treat my self to a massage and a pedi  drop them off at school! Happy Friday!

He would come across the pages that had the barbies and doll houses and anything pink and point at them and yell "JESSIE!!" So I am glad he knows what she likes because she changes her mind every 5 minutes. We will be shopping soon and from the very worn out toy book he has carried with him for the past few weeks now. He points at 3 things every time he opens the book from Wal-Mart...so i know he means business. And the 50" flat screen that he points at and yells "DAAAADDDY" well sorry for your luck son.

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...
