girls
haley is 7. she has been for a few weeks now. but....she just had her birthday party last weekend.
her very first all girl party. no boys. the first step to sleepovers, gossip, mall runs and makeup....
she must have wanted to let her "tomboy" years go with a bang because she picked go carting as her activity. it was fun, the girls were perfect and here are a couple pictures of the fun
that last one was my favorite. they give the little caps to wear under the helets(a welcome idea if you ask me)and they were all just thrilled to wear them!!

3 weeks in into fall.
well, technically fall doesn't start for another week, but for the purposes of life fall starts when kids are back in school, and the weather gets colder.
haley Loves her new teacher. she is getting better already in her reading skills and very shortly her math will start to come home too.
ballet has started and swimming starts tonight. and brownies starts in two weeks.
sarah is motoring around, always busy and always trying to keep up with haley. a typical little sister. her ballet has also started and this yar for the first time ever she is also going to learn tap in class. she cannot wait to get tap shoes. i, on the hand, can wait forever.
matthew is doing great with the big kids. little girls are drawn to him when he arrives(makes his daddy proud) and the poor little guy got stung by a wasp this week right in the eye. it was completely swollen shut for 2 days. i regret not taking a picture. not quite sure why i didn't think of it until after he looked completly normal again.
school for me is busy, crazy and an experience that i could neither anticipate, nor fully prepare for. but so far so good.
that is the last few weeks in a nutshell. its my favorite time of year acutally, because as crazy busy as we are, there is structure and i NEED that to get through things.
pictures will follow soon.

bye bye summer
well, summer seems to be over at our house.
haley will be in grade 2 as of next week. i have no idea when all that growing happened, but it did, and i cannot believe that we are only two years away from middle school after this year.
matthew and sarah will be spending alot more time together soon, since matthew is moving up to the preschool room with sarah next week. my little baby will be playing with the bigger kids.
i have finally started my nursing program. monday was my first day and it being thursday, i am already busy busy with work. (i think i'll top out the 4 hour mark tonight) it is scary, fun, and everything in between, and i just keep thinking about how great it will be for our family when i am done.
the time will fly by, just as this summer did, and matthew will be starting kindergarten the year i complete my degree. crazy huh?
there is ballet, and brownies, swimming, school functions, and lots more coming in the next couple weeks. all of it means that long and lazy days are over and the real work is about to begin.
