So Sad

I guess they no longer have the monkey background for my blog. Too bad because it was perfect. I will be playing around with it to find us a new look. (if I can remember how I did it to begin with.) I know I haven't blogged in quite a while. I don't feel like there is much to say.

We are down to a few more days of summer break. I thought I would be more excited but I think I am actually going to miss my kids! Weird, I know. Overall, we have had a great summer, and I have enjoyed spending time with them. Now, talk to me at the end of this week (Spencer is out of town) and see if I feel the same by Friday!

So what have we done all summer? We have been swimming, watching movies, staying up late, playing games, sleeping in and just hanging out together. It has been very relaxed.

I do need to do a post on Ben's birthday party. I can NOT believe I have a child in the double digits!! 1-0!! UGH! He had a great birthday so I need to get that on here.

I also got all the kids signed up for soccer. Caitlyn is VERY excited! This will be her 1st extra-curricular activity. She has been watching the boys play and just could not wait until it was her turn. In true Cait fashion she has planned her outfit. She wants matching bows for her hair and a tu-tu to wear over her soccer shorts. I thought she would throw a stink when we were told her soccer shorts had to be black (she wanted pink) but she surprised me and said OK. We will see if she takes the shirt color as well.

School registration was last Friday and Matthew is going to be a 1st grader! He seems to be the one changing the most. I am more sad about that than anything else.

They are all growing up so fast! I know, I know people tried to tell me but, I didn't believe them! I thought the day would never come and now it's here. I seem to get more and more reminders that my kids are not babies anymore. Even shoe shopping, I was looking at all the adorable little sizes and felt sad. I was so looking forward to the day ALL the kids were in school and now I think I am going to be a basket-case next year when Caitlyn starts kindergarten.

I guess I am just trying to say, it does go by more quickly than you realize. So, I will miss my babies but they are becoming fantastic little people. I am going to enjoy all that I can, and look forward to what comes next.
