lazy days of summer

Well I am finally getting around to another entry. So much for the lazy days of summer. Here we are less than 2 weeks from the first day of school and I don't even feel like we've had summer yet. How the time does fly by when you are having fun. We have just been hanging out, staying up late, sleepin in, and having a good time in general. We have one last hoorah scheduled for later this week. The kids and I are heading to the Southwest corner of the state to the big Hollis, Oklahoma metropolis where my grandparents live on the farm. The kids love to go to the farm and see the cows, tractors, etc. It's a great place to get dirty and just have some easy-going downtime. My sisters and I like to sit around and look at old pictures of our childhood days gone by. It's always good to be with family. These are just a few snapshots I took tonight while the kids were playing outside. We live in a great neighborhood that rolls out the sidewalk every night and the kids come out of the woodwork to play together. We have been fortunate to have some beautiful summer evenings lately.

I guess starting next week we'll have to attempt to regain some sort of a back to school schedule with earlier nights to allow for earlier mornings. Garret will start pre-k at Piedmont Primary and Logan will be in first grade at the Elementary school. Addi and I will get some quality mother-daughter time in the mornings on my days off. We have seldom had time just the two of us so that will be neat. I'll update again next week after our trip to the farm so you can see what we were up to. :)
