It’s July

It’s July. 

It’s in fact the last week of July. 

The very last week of July.

Anyone else following along? 

Anyone else know the madness I speak of? 

Anyone else know just how much I want August to start so that school will start?!

You know it’s the last week of summer before school starts when you don’t even care WHY they are arguing anymore, you just beg them to please be quiet. 

You know it’s the last week of summer before school starts when you decide to “walk around the grocery store” for “something to do” because being trapped inside with those people is too much to bear. 

You know its the last week of summer before school starts when you ask if you can take a family walk after dinner even when you’ve already gone to Zumba class that morning just so you don’t have to hear them say “I’m bored” one more time. 

You know it’s the last week of summer before school starts when you’re on the phone and the squabbling gets loud but as long as no one is crying sitting in a pol of blood, you keep talking and the other person on the phone doesn’t ask what’s wrong because the smaller people in her house are also squabbling loudly and everyone knows the answer anyhow. The answer is “it’s July”. 

You know it’s July when the toddler tells you he’s ready to put himself to nap… what?  Yes. This really happened today. 

Anyone else feeling it? 

It’s JULY!

hello, Georgia, well hello, Georgia

… to the tune of “Hello, Dolly” … it has been way too long, my cup runneth over, I am so blessed,…. but also so busy. I barely have time to stop and think let alone sit and blog… 

However the fact that the last posting was Mark’s graduation, and the summer is nearly over and school will be starting back up is a little sad. Surely there should be time in there for something! 

What a whirlwind summer we’ve had… the boys and I traveled for a month visiting family and friends in Missouri and New Mexico.  I wont recap all of it, but here’s some highlights…  First up, KC Zoo ,we spent a week with my best friend in KC, and this was a highlight…  (we also celebrated Matthew’s birthday there, but most of the pictures are on my tablet and I need to still get those over to the laptop)

Secondly, we spent two weeks at my sister’s house in New Mexico. Love it there. Love it there…. the sky is so blue… the clouds are so white… it was so much fun. I took nearly 1000 pictures so this was hard, but here’s a few favorites…

We had a great Sunday afternoon while there, we visited a nursery and took pictures in their gardens, oh my goodness, it was beautiful. Just beyond gorgeous… the kids had fun and didn’t wear out too much, we took hundreds there… here’s a very few favorites from that day… 

 

 

The next postings will probably be about potty training fears, traveling tips, my new buisness (stay tuned!), my new kitchen walls (stay tuned!), things I’m learning, books I’m reading, and who knows what else… I will try to update more regularly… and give plenty of updates on these strong boys of mine…  I love them all so much.

Happy Summer y’all.
