Recap

B-man successfully completed his first communion and confirmation last weekend. Much to our shocking surprise!! And I should clarify that these are both completed in our eyes. The church does not consider him to have made his communion because although he went up to be blessed individually with the rest of his class, he refused to accept the host into his mouth. This as I have said numerous times is something that will likely not take place until he is at least 15 or so. We will all wait for that time to come and until then, we will check this off our list.

As of late the kids are both getting very antsy!! They are both ready for school to be OVER!

I have to admit, I am also ready for it to end. As the weather gets nicer and the sky stays bright longer, its harder to stay on schedule and get the kids inside for dinner at a reasonable time, which then delays all of the other things to follow-homework, shower, bed time, and god-forbid we try to do anything as a family.

This my friends-is why I will never move away from the 4 seasons. I love having to stay inside and be cozy warm while having some quality family time. On the flip side-it gets old, especially having 2 growing boys who need to get outside and burn some energy, so I enjoy summer just as much.

Maybe someday when I am older and still trying with all of my might to hold on to every bit of youth I can muster (AKA mid-life crisis) I will want to be in the warm weather 365 days a year.. but its unlikely.
