Back to School They Go

Yesterday Rylie went back to school and today was Ben and Sydney's turn. Ok, never mind what I say when the kids are arguing with each other or talking back to me. I'm one of those weird parents that actually wishes she could keep her kids with her forever and ever and never have to send them to school. I truly miss the kids when they aren't here. I want to experience the world with them and do fun activities and adventures with them. Oh well, there will be plenty of time for that around school. These little breaks are nice to remind me not to over bog my kids down with sports and extra curricular activities. This summer we are planning a change of things. I think the big kids will be playing baseball and Rylie will do her soccer camp but the big kids will not be joining in soccer camp. In the mean time, dance and art classes start next week.

I'm working on planning lots of fun stuff for our summer vacation right now, as well as fun activities for our spring break and all three of the girls birthday parties.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for. I have pretty much everything a girl could want. I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now. I'm beyond obsessed. Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations. I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies. I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley! I'm so in love with Vera Bradley. I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house. I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

We put up our outside decorations last night for fall and Halloween. It's looks so cute out there. Right now I am:::: Sitting at the counter trying to quickly type up this post and eat my br...

Petty

This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven. The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors. The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo. The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally. While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't. We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video. Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug. I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames. I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny. She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...
