Final summer post

I am so happy and so sad!  School starts Monday.  We are both ready to start, but I'm sad that our summer will be over.  And that C will be in 5th grade!  He is growing up way too fast!

C and I celebrated "not-back-to-school"  Some of the public schools around here started August 1!  crazy!   Our particular public school started August 14, so that day we went out for breakfast.  Fun times!

School will be a little different this year.  I am not using strictly ABB.
It'll be more prep work for me, but I think in the long run it will be better for C

We have had unseasonably cool weather this summer (makes me fearful for winter).
C had pants and a sweatshirt on this day.  If I remember right, it was 54 that morning when we got up!

Since last time.......

So much has happened since my last post.  Sadly, I don't have pictures of most of those things!

Let's see......

C and I went to see Monster's University.  Cute movie.  I think it was better than the first.

C and I went swimming with his friend (and mom and sister).  This has been his little buddy at church since forever.  And they are moving to MI within the next 2 months.  Sad times!

Daddy took a Monday off work and we went to the fair.  We go to the fair for the food and not much else.  This year we did see a part of the fair that we had never seen before--not that it was terribly exciting.  But it wasn't food and it was new to us.

They had an awesome animated exhibit this year.  Lots of cool stuff!

This is the year of the popcorn for the fair.
In honor, they made the world's largest popcorn ball.

C started soccer practice.  This league is a step up from where he has played before.  They worked the kids hard during practice.  C was tired.  Daddy even got in on the action.

and lastly and sadly, I am no longer babysitting (the mommies decision; not mine)  As excited as I was to start, I'm excited to end.  I missed it being just C and I.  Not that the babies were hard.  And I loved them both.  But I missed "us."  With school starting soon (August 19!!!) I think it will be a good thing.  And I can go back to sleeping in.  YEAH!

I will miss these 2 little ones!
