That is the sound of our summer flying by this year. The days and weeks are just flying by, I can't believe that the kids will start school in less than three weeks now. I had high expectations for our summer, lots of playing outside, hours of reading books with the kids, trips to the library and parks, bike rides in the evenings and lots of other stuff. Needless to say, we were more in "survival mode" than I expected and didn't do alot of those things. But, I can honestly say the kids have had a fun and relaxing summer and will be ready to get the school year started. We took a trip to Target to get all their school supplies last week. Sam thought it was so fun and wanted tp pick his own stuff to put in the basket.

We had unexpected fun times - our last minute decision to take the kids to the circus earlier this month, and the boys getting to go see Superman with Matthew in Waco. The have built endless things with their Legos and Megablocks, done a million puzzles, made crazy pictures on their Lite Brites, drawn enough pictures to wallpaper our whole house, and probably watched more TV than they needed. I guess I learned that they are as happy just being instaed of doing, doing, doing. I find myself incredibly blessed to have been able to stay home with them during their pre-school years, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
