Last Days of Summer

I just wrote in my journal about how Blake is starting Kindergaten tomorrow and I'm a mess! I know he will love it and that he is ready. But I'm still sad. I'm sad that my five years are up and that we can't roll out of bed every morning and watch Curious George at 8:00. And then decide together what we should do for the day. And I'm going to be sad whenever his favorite songs come on the radio in the car, which is pretty much every song that he knows. And I don't know what I will do without hearing all of his million questions. He will be at school for seven hours a day which is a lot to be away from each other--especially since we have always been together. Let's be honest though--it's not even like every day was bliss. Every day was kind of hard. He is so head strong with lots of energy, and him and Janie fight like crazy. But he has a love for life and I will miss that for seven hours every day.

Busy at Work

Going back to get more.

blAKE IS HAPPY TOODAY

Blake and Janie went outside on Saturday to play with chalk. I went for a run this morning and left through the backyard and found this. Pretty much made my day that he wrote this.

Fun Day

I told Blake last week that all we were going to do until kindergarten starts is have fun. Friday we had a full day of it. We went with our friends the Tews to a park/splash pad a few towns away. The kids played happily for three hours. It was a beautiful day and fun to go somewhere different.

A friend told me about this well known ice cream shop called Oinks near our fun park so we went to check it out. It was really good and the kids were in heaven.

Later in the day we went on a field trip to the fire station. I don't think I've ever been to one. Eric was home with Ty. I told Blake that now was his chance to ask the fireman any questions he had. He told me he didn't have any. Which was a first! And then he suddenly thought of 100 questions on the ride home. I love how his wheels are always turning.
