Over the River and Through the Woods

The kids are gone. All 4 of them. At the same time. They do this every summer and it's nice. Quiet but nice. Nana and Grandpa take them plus the 3 cousins all for a week of fun and fellowship at 'Nana and Grandpa' camp. Better them than me I say.

So they left yesterday. Hubby and I had a nice relaxing evening with no refereeing, no wiping bottoms, no playing nurse, etc. We watched 2 full movies with no interruptions and even started watching a third that was on tv, just because we could. Stayed up until just after 1:00 and slept in until 11:00 this morning. It's like college all over again.

The kids are officially out for summer, obviously. I haven't had a chance to update my blog here because things have been so busy. The last couple weeks of school were just insane.

Marleigh has 'graduated' now from elementary school to middle school. She's even categorized as a 'junior high' student at church now. I dont' like it. How'd she get so big?

And Tess will be going to school next year. Just Pre-K but it's all day long. Whatever will I do with myself? I'd better start making some money or Hubby will send me out to find a REAL job. Then I won't be able to sit and watch my stories eating my bon bons all day like I've done all these years as a stay-at-home.

Today is Sela's 6th birthday. I hate that she's not with us. Looking at the clock now it's 11:30, just 13 minutes until her actual time of birth. Hard to believe it's been 6 years already. We had her birthday party on Friday afternoon. It was a Japanese theme complete with little cakes in the form of bowls full of food and some fun sushi cakes I made. No more parties now until August. Whew.

The next big thing to tackle is my cousins wedding in a few weeks. Sela is the flower girl. Please please please God let her walk down the aisle and not wimp out. Amen.
