------>>>>August

It is August.
Crazy!
I have been soaking in summer with the children.

School starts this month & I am less than excited.

The big boys are eager though, so I play along.

The pantry has a corner of already purchased supplies for the 1st day.

T leaves for Michigan with Rod next week for some boating & guy time with grandpa 

(Rod's dad. who is awesome.) 

So that will leave me with the younger three.

Honestly, I am not looking forward to that.

Britt will be bored without T.

Presley will need extra attention without Brother to help

& Maddox well... he is in a rut/cycle of  & with no daddy to come home & hug momma after a long day of Maddox....

Lets just say I am feeling like packing up my car & heading somewhere myself with the three. 

But all that "me" stuff aside I am ecstatic that my men get to go on a fun guy trip. they deserve it! Rod has already been briefed on his responsibility to take lots of pictures! 

Flying through the day without my co-pilot (aka: my 7 year old) is going to be interesting.

I love my biggest. He is such a help & a peace maker (90% of the time.) 

I am a little afraid of being left to this crazy 3 three year old with the sweetest smiles, bluest eyes, & no volume control ability, with a big list of demands & no time to stop.... he is cute though, no?
