Settling in

We do exist!

I am so lucky to know people with cameras who actually use them! You see we have several cameras, but they don't get used too often. Too hard to juggle kiddos and cameras.

You may have wondered where I've been (or maybe not!). Well, I have been tired. Seriously tired. The last weeks of school are brutal! We have parties, baseball games, more parties, more baseball games, recitals. In fact Hanna has a recital for her tumbling class. She is 37th out of 50. Would I have signed her up if I had known on May 22 I would sit through 37 dance routines before my daughters? Probably not. It better be good!

Zac is almost done. One more day of preschool. Hanna and Will have a week and a half. This time of year brings out mixed emotions. Sad that they are done with another year. It goes so fast. Will has been with his teachers for two years so it will be tough saying good bye. But that emotion is quickly overwhelmed by FEAR. Fear of spending everyday with them for the next two and half months. They fight, whine, watch too much tv and mess up the house. Which is why I have frantically signed them up for camps!

My fear will pass and we will settle in. I will sleep late. I will turn brown from so much time at the pool and lake. I will tire of the heat about mid-july and go to Target, Wal-Mart or wherever and we will have a summer-time Christmas. I will buy toys and games that will occupy them for days and hours because it is hot outside and I want to be inside. I will organize while staying cool. I will not want them to start again.

Look for my blog in August when they are going back to school and I am oh so sad...it happens every year. I will settle in again and be glad for a little quiet time.
