Let's catch up!

So... I know... I haven't blogged in so long. Most of you have probably given up on even coming here to read all of my intelligence and whit.

Life is busy, kids are busy, work is busy and I love those moments that are so not busy. Those are my favorite times so I try to savor them. There should be a few more of them now that our baseball season is over.

It is very difficult for me to come to terms with the fact that this school year will be over in two days. TWO DAYS! Joseph will be done grade two!!! Didn't I just drop him off at Kindergarten and now he's leaving grade two? Realistically Joseph is ready for grade three. I however, have some apprehention and concern about class placements. I hope it all works out and I have to have faith that at then end of the day what will happen is what is meant to be and will work out for the best. At least I know Joseph will make the best of wherever he winds up.

My bigger apprehention is that my Trenter will be going to Kindergarten this fall. AKK! That terrifies me. Like I said before I dropped Joseph at Kindergarten and he came home from grade two.... what if THAT happens again. Trent is more than ready and he is so open minded about it all. Much moreso than I could have anticipated his personality to be.

And Addie, well...she is Addie. Walking, talking, Sass machine. She is adorable and knows it. She has found this new niche to her life. All of a sudden she has decided that she is Daddy's girl. It saddens me because she was such a Mama's girl for so long. However, on the other hand it thrills me that her and Big Daddy are getting some time to foster their relationship. Plus at 8am on a Sunday all I hear from her crib is "Dad?... Dad?..... DAAAAAD???" Sorry Big Daddy, it isn't me she wants .

Our kids never fail to be whipper snappers and it keeps us in laughter. The other night at the grocery store there was a cart in the middle of the aisle full of reduced priced stuff. It definately wasn't there the day before. There was a woman standing there looking through the stuff. It was stuff like face wash, bandaids, tampons, film, batteries, and other stuff. There were some items that appealed to me so I grabbed them and put them in my basket. We then walked over to the milk and Trent leans over and hisses through is teeth in a great parental quiet yet stern voice. "MOM! That was soooooo rude. You just took a bunch of stuff out of that womans cart! What were you thinking?!"
Any possible response eludes me.

Well, July is going to be crazy and I hope to have a much slower August which will give me the opportunity to spend time with just my kids at the pools and spray parks.
Joseph is also working on learing to ride his two wheeler... Ok people I know he is 7. Better late than never right. He is starting to get the hang of it and I am sure by the end of the summer Trent will want his training wheels off. So hopefully we can get in some family bike rides this year.

Hope you all have a great summer!
