  • Last Week of Summer

    Has it really been three months of summer?  Amazing.  Now that I have a child in school, and I am back in school instead of at work, summers fly by much more quickly than I remember them doing in the past.  we have been ridiculously busy, but I think it has been good for the most part. I have greatly enjoyed my time at home, even on the days when I didn't think I could take another second of sibling rivalry. 
    This afternoon we register Roman for his preschool.  He is very excited.  He wants so much to be a big kid like Avery.  I am excited for him but also a little sad that he is growing up.  This parenting sure is bitter-sweet. 
    Mazie is toddling and babbling all over the place.  And so proud of herself, too.  I love this stage, though it does present a little extra attention from me.  She will be the only child at home for most of the time this year.  I am not sure how I feel about that.  I think it will make things so much easier to do the extra stuff when I only have to care for one instead of three.  Strange...Roman did not get to experience being the only one at home.  well, he got two days a week, I guess.  It is amazing how each of their life experiences has been so vastly different and will continue to be so.

    I have been reading the Twilight series.  I had heard so many mixed reviews about these books, that I really wasn't sure what to expect.  I think my opinion is that they are a great female/teen romantic/fantasy series.  The writing leaves some to be desired, but I think it conveys the thought process of a teenage girl rather well.  How many of us truly think in complete sentences or have thoughts that really make sense?  And it is a unique twist on vampires.  it is really easy to read; one recommendation said it was like reading candy.  It has been fun to read another mindless fantasy story during my last week of summer.
