Fall!!!

It is my most favorite time of year! I love, love, love fall. Cool air, colorful leaves, hay, apples, scarecrows, back to school, football, and of course...Halloween is on the way!

School's In!

Is it so wrong to love it when they go back to school? It's like that commercial for Staples where they sing "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" and the parents are riding the cart in the aisle and the kids are moping behind them. I feel like that. I love school shopping, and I love that they are excited to go back. But most of all, I'm just glad to have some peace and quiet. And I feel guilty about that. Yet, here I sit, able to blog without any whining or interrupting and it's great. Is there no happy middle ground for moms?

I jumped!

Just got back from Girl's Camp. What a blast! The girls talked us into jumping off of the rocks and bridge.

Karate Kids er...Kid and Dad

Chase and David have been taking karate, and they had their pictures taken last week. I think they are pretty awesome.

Potty Training

Well, here we go with Ryan's potty training. After the nightmare that we had with Chase, I have been dreading it, but he's actually not doing too bad. David bought him a bag of M&M's, and every time he goes, he gets a treat. He is such a treat junkie that he tries to go all the time! I have to admit, this is the one thing I hate about parenthood. From the minute they were born, I dreaded the thought of potty training. But I'm on the last one!

School's Out!

Okay, it is officially crazy mom season. One day and they are already saying I'm bored! Maybe I should start a camp. Should it be craft camp or chore camp... The first 2 weeks are so hard, but then it seems like they finally figure out what to do. But why does it seem like they want me to figure out their fun for them?

Kids at the park

We had a barbecue at the park for the end of clogging, and I took the camera so I could take some pictures of the kids. They were pretty funny trying to climb the trees.
