This is ridiculous. I cannot get into a blogging rhythm and have severely neglected to write much of anything this summer. And, it's not as if I'm not continuously composing posts in my mind. It's just that they are are not making it out of my brain and onto the computer. When the woman who writes my favorite food blog life's got busy, she started posting every Monday night. So, perhaps that's what I need to do. Although, I wouldn't exactly call my life busy. She was in the middle of publishing a cook book and helping her husband to open a restaurant. So, how do Friday nights sound:)

Summer is coming to a close (sniff, sniff) and we are reluctantly getting ready for the fall. Cayla started her summer homework packet and Collin got new shoes. We're not ready to let summer go. The kids had a wonderful few months full of swimming and sandboxes and mudpies and couch jumping parties. Kindergarten was a rough time for both of them and I was glad to have my happy, creative, bouncy kids back for a while. However, since I am not going to turn this post into the "Why I Want to Homeschool" essay, let me switch gears and tell you what Collin did today. Here he is at 10am:


And now at 6pm:

Yes, the locks have begun and Collin is estatic!

And, just for good measure, here is a photo of Cayla (who spend the day with my Dad watching 2 movies, going to lunch, and going to a playground!)
