Last Day of School....

It is the last day of school for the boys. Once they walk out of the hallowed halls of their primary school we will have a First and Second grader..  (sniff sniff)
Where did this school year go? when did It pass me by? Oh, I know..it flew by on all those mornings I was up at 6am, yanking them out of bed, fixing breakfast and school lunches..arguing with them because no one had brushed their teeth. It passed me by when we were working on homework with our 6yr old and reading skills with the 5 yr. old.

Now, it is summer break ...Time to cool off in the sprinklers, have water gun fights. And stay up late around the fire pit roasting marshmallows. Summer is about playing with bugs and digging in the dirt for earth worms. Lets not forget going to the beach, playing in the waves, and building sand volcanoes...
Summer is the  time to head up to SC and see grandpaw, and throw rocks in his driveway, Eat ice cream, and watermelon and suck on popsicles and try our best to catch lightening bugs.

This is the time of year Senior and I  watch our boys enjoy the care free life of what being a kid means, and try not to think about them growing up and what their lives  and this world will be like when they are adults.

 This summer our oldest finally gets his own room, while he is excited about his "own space" It is making me terribly sad, I worry the youngest will miss his brother during the night. But, the time has come, and I am sure more often then not, we will find them bunked together. They are each others best friend, and as much as they fight...they also are dependent on one another. So, lots of transitions in our house this summer, growing up and growing out of things...  : (

The one thing mommy hopes...is she can survive it all.... ( sniff sniff)
