After today, there are 4 days of school left and I cannot wait to start sleeping in again. Plus, no homework!! However, I need to come up with a game plan to keep the kids entertained/settled during the summer. Who am I kidding...I make a plan and then never follow all the way through. When summer comes it is like survivor mode, just trying to keep everyone alive and not to kill one another.

Zeke is practically potty trained...hallelujah!! I don't know if it was him turning 3 or if I became extra motivated. Whatever, it is...it is working and things in our household have become a lot smoother. Plus saving some money on diapers will make this Momma very happy.

I have been getting rid of some baby things and it is not as satisfying as I thought. It is actually kind of sad, especially when I know a ton of people around me who are pregnant. I don't desire to be pregnant again, but I really do love babies. Also, I think it has become especially heart wrenching because my baby girl is growing up. Soon she will be as messy and full of attitude as the rest of them. I keep telling myself that since our kids are growing up, we will be able to do more fun stuff as a family. The things we cannot do with small kids.  Maybe I am just mourning the fact I am out of the baby stage and quickly moving toward the teenager years. We still have some time but it is quickly approaching.

After reading over # 3, I do have the chance to be a grandma. I have heard it is better than being a parent because you can reap all the baby benefits without doing all the hard time labor. I guess I am having a hard time with this. You ask Brad and he is jumping for joy to be done with babies.
