Ahhhh. Summer vacation. Here....at....last.......Sob. (That was me crying. I was crying loudly and so I capitalized all the letters in sob and it looked like I was swearing. Which I kinda am on the inside.) There is a part of me that is so glad we are done with homework, spelling tests, getting up and ready and out the door every morning on time. There is a part of me that is excited about lunch at the park and swimming and the library. Then there is a part of me that is crying on the inside because there will be fighting and yelling and messes and 4 kids to take to the grocery store.
Emily, I love her so much. She has inherited my sisters volume level for her voice. And it is constantly set to max. And I wish you could hear her right now. She has been hyped up since she woke up and I've had about all I can stand and she hasn't even been awake for an hour. I feel bad because when my sister was here at Christmas she was telling us that she never understood it when people would always tell her to be quiet or use her inside voice. She didn't know she was being loud. But I'm about to like, lose my mind right at this moment.
The other day I told the kids we were going to Costco. Zac started whining and said, "Do you know how many countless hours I have spent at Costco, against my will?".
Apparently I have genius children. Addison can count to 3 and Aubrey can read. I take full credit for Addison's counting because she has been hearing this on a semi-hourly basis since the day she was born, "If you don't come here by the time I count to 3.....1.....2.......3......". Unfortunately I can't take any credit for Aubrey's reading. She just busted out with it one day. Shocked the heck out of me. She is my first child to read before kindergarten.
Last week, no one came to see my house. The week before we had 3 showings set up and not one of them came. Do you know how irritating it is to get all excited and get my house all clean and leave the house with my kids for hours at a time and then not have the people show up?
Is it wrong to have my heat on in the summer? I just turned it off yesterday and I said, NO MORE! But when I woke up this morning it was 65 degrees in the house and everyone was shivering. I am actually enjoying the beautiful weather. My kids are getting mad that we can't swim though.

I am sorry you have chilly weather. I hate it when it is not warm when it is supposed to be. The heat index here is 105. Plenty hot for me.
Allyson, just send those loud kids outside to play...that was my mom's answer.
How awesome for your utilities bill right now!
I think we live the same life.
Coren, you have your heat on??!!!
Just kidding, I know what you meant.
Ally- I am so and it was 4 times on average.sorry about the loudness of Emily. If it makes you feel any better my son is not only loud but repeats everything he says 4 times. I am not kidding. I started counting in the car the other day and the average was 4.
I too am excited and sad about summer. We have plenty of heat here though. And 65 in the house is not cold- sounds just right to me.
It was 72 in the house this morning!
Coren, are you moving? Do you already have a house? Is yours up for sale? How's that going if it is?
I can just hear Gabe talking and repeating himself in his husky little cute voice.
ALL my kids are at home, ALL DAY LONG! We haven't started kindergarten yet and my daughter will miss the cut off this year. I am ready for at least one kid to go to school. What is up with the weather. It is HOT one day and COLD the next. This is a really bizzare summer.
