Back to School

Yep, it's that time again. I actually caught a few sales today and got myself some new "school clothes". Berkeley found her a book bag, as well (we will take her school shopping closer to time for school). I leave on Sunday for a really awesome workshop (from what I hear) that is actually a 3 year commitment's worth of paid training. I will be gone through Thursday, and then I start back with faculty professional development meetings the following Tuesday. Berkeley begins 5th grade on August 19th. I can not believe I have a 5th grader. She is growing up in so many ways right before our eyes. Fall Softball practices also begin this coming Tuesday evening. I am excited, but at the same time, thinking...."Didn't we JUST get finished with Spring ball?!?!?!" The twins are dabbling in potty training, but we have a loooooooonnnnnngggg way to go, still. They like sit on their potties, but that is about the extent of it so far. We have has some occaisional successful Potty Times...but nothing consistent enough for them to put all the puzzle pieces together. As much as I would like to be over the diaper stage, I know they will do it in their own time, and I am in no hurry. It'll happen when it happens....I guess that is all I have to report for now....Check back often....there's always something going on 'round here!!

CHECK OUT THE KIDS' PAGES

I am finally trying to finish up getting caught up on the kids' blogs. We have been going non-stop all summer, so now that things have slowed down, I am getting some time to organize all the pictures I have taken and getting them out on the blogs. So....check out the links the the kids' pages and see what they have been up to. Check back often, because I hope to keep things going a little bit regularly!

Playing in the Sprinkler

......Ahhhhh summer fun!! There is nothing better than good friends, good food, and a few kids running through the sprinkler for added entertainment to make for a perfect summer evening! Last night, our friends, Sarah, Curtis, and Lakyn had supper with us before heading back to Bebee BEFORE making their move back to Pea Ridge next week. Lakyn and the twins have been friends from the belly and since...and now that they are moving back, Lakyn and the twins will be in the same pre-school class (Lord help their teachers...LOL!) So....we pulled the sprinkler out last night after supper and between the sprinkler and popcicles, they were worn out by the time bedtime rolled around...Here are some pictures from their fun!!
