Yes...we made it back...

I know...it has been several weeks since the last post.  I am sure some of you are wondering if we decided to stay in CO...it was a nice thought. 

But we eventually had to make the LONG drive home and realized...it is really hot here.  But the kids were happy to be home.

We were so busy the following week with unpacking, laundry, doctor appointments, dentist appointments, back to school shopping...you know...all that junk you have to do before school starts.  Then, the first week of school hit...wow...the summer just flew by.  Here is a shot of the gang on the first day of school.

And can you believe my sweet baby girl is in Kindergarten...mommy really had a hard time leaving.

We also saw this creepy gal hanging out on the wall of the house when we came home...

Just Say WOW

For Today

Outside my window...Sunny...very sunny...it even looks hot.

I am thinking...about how time flies during the summer...it never seems like enough time with my kids.

I am thankful for...artistic kids that love to paint, create, color, dance, and tell CRAZY stories.

From the learning rooms...reading chapter books, learning letter sounds, and working on writing.

From the kitchen...Yummy pizza smell from lunch.

I am wearing...shorts, t-shirt, and new running shoes that I am trying to break in.

I am creating...flash cards to take on our trip.

I am going...on a long trip, in a truck, with a hubby and three kids...oh yeah, my head phones and ipod!

I am reading...Ramona and Beezus, Mr. Darcy's daughters, and listening to the Deathly Hallows.

I am hoping...to have a relaxing next week because school starts soon.

I am hearing...music, laughing...and as usual...dogs barking.

Around the house...poly pocket play time, my little man painting, cat lounging...just a pleasant day.

One of my favorite things...getting hugs from my kids.

A few plans for the rest of the week...finish packing, maybe a digi page or two.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
