18 Months old!!

I cannot believe this little guy is 18 months old!!  I know I am a few days late posting some photos, I have MANY more from his 18 months and I still want to do another one- two sessions with him.  Finding the time to post is a challenge right now, since I am baby sitting 2-4 kids every

 day  right now. Life is BUSY!!!   But we are having a great summer!  And the kids are growing fast... too fast!

Free Summer Session! Enter today!

First Day....

Well today is the first day of school for 3 of my 4 school aged children.  This morning was rough!  My 6th grader didn't care to even go to school.  But he went, we aren't sure about his teacher yet since she is new.  But he will have several teachers this year, since he switches classes.  My 3rd grader hates change (much like myself) and started crying this morning.  I couldn't leave him while he was crying.  He was hoping for a different teacher then he got, but I think he will like her once he gets to know her.  Thankfully one of his male friends who is also in his class came in and he was better.  My 2nd grader walked into his class and informed the teacher that she was messing up his tv time... got to love his personality!  He isn't shy at all.  Then I found out that my soon to be Kindergartener (he starts Monday) has a teacher that we were not hoping for.  It flipped me out badly, but thankfully the school switched him and he has the same teacher my last Kindergartener had... and she is awesome!!  You can tell she loves her job and the kids!  So now it is 12:40 and I still have 2 more hours till the older boys get out of school so I can find out about their first day and see them again!!!!  I hope they all four have a wonderful year!

Back to School

Today is the last day of summer break... wait, what?  Summer is over?!?!?  How did that happen?  It seems like it was just May and we were just starting summer break.  Tomorrow morning 3 of my 4 school aged children will start school.  My little Kindergartener doesn't start till Monday, so I get a few extra days with him.  But I know there will be tears on Monday... and possibly tomorrow too.  I am not ready for them to go back to school.  I am not ready for alarm clocks, home work, bedtimes, and everything else that goes along with school.  I hope my little guys have a great year and learn a lot... now to count down to Christmas break!

Summer Wreath

This is my favorite thing that I had made from pinterest so far!  I really like this wreath!  It was super easy to make, to find the umbrellas was a challenge (go to a party supply store).  You just stick the umbrellas in a foam wreath and there you have it!  Simple and so cute!!!  This looks so beach like to me, and I am a beach girl living in a land locked state.  Maybe someday I will go to the ocean/ beach again.  Here is the link if you would like to make your own.  :)
