My oh my what a summer it has been. I am so behind on SO many things but that is ok. I have been a complete surrendered slave to my kids the past 2 weeks. Little Bubbie had his tonsils and adenoids out 11 days ago and is was rough (severe) to say the least, I will post more on that when I have the time. He has been in a lot of pain so we hung home and one would think that I could get a lot done.... no way! It has been nuts. I was starting to wonder if we had a revolving door in our house because kids were coming and going almost in circles for hours each day. We had lots of friends over and tried to keep Bubba happy even though he suffered so. We played lots of games and watched plenty of movies and for being a family who prides themselves on being "unplugged" from electronics and TV we sure watched A LOT of TV and I am pretty sure a few of the kids has carpel tunnel now from video games.
It goes without saying... it has been exceptionally hot this year so playing outside really only lasts about 15 minutes, by the time the boys come in they are literally dripping in sweat. This photo below was the weather forecast from a few days ago, we snapped it because it for one, cracked us up that the weather man didn't just throw in a 76 or a 78 to the night time lows just for variety but also to record how boring our weather has been. I think this year we are at about 60 days in the 100's, the average for Austin is 19 so it has been toasty. Everyday we just wake up another day in paradise.... a hot one but still a paradise nonetheless.
So with summer coming to an end there are lots of changes around here. 1st we are unplugging everything for a few weeks until we can get back on our feet and bed times have resumed (yikees... that includes me). I guess you could say I am torn... both sad and happy. Sad summer is over, sad I have to kiss my boys goodbye in the morning but also happy I have to kiss them goodbye and also happy summer is over, routines are very nice, does that make any sense at all?? It has been a very fun and happy summer, fulfilling in every way. I am sad to see the kiddos go, I will miss them. We have a lot of changes this year, Eddie will be going into 6th grade at the new middle school and Douey will be in preschool 4 - 1/2 days a week. Preschool here is pretty much like kindergarten is else where since we have all day kindergarten. I will miss her terribly, Burger will miss her terribly but she is SO excited. We will have piano, football and dance on our plate for the fall so it will be a great season as well. Anyway, I am really sad to see the summer come to an end but very excited for the new experiences that await.
Life is good. Hope you all have a super week. Lots of blog updating to come :)

I hear ya, it's totally bittersweet! I am losing all of my kiddos this year, we have all day kindy, too. I'm excited for them but miserable that they are growing up. sigh.
You totally make sense to me. I'll have two in school all day. I didn't even cry when they got on the bus. I'm doin' good!
Hooray or school!! Although Wyatt didn't get to go yet...hoping for tomorrow!! :)...even if it's a little sad for me to be home alone now :( I'll miss my little buddy!
and I'm just going to say it...I'm sick of the 100 degrees...it's burning up my grass we worked so hard on!! Time to fast for some rain!
Wow, I thought our forecast was bad...you win! Having tonsils out is rough stuff, glad you all survived! Good luck with the new school year ahead of you!
