FOUR

This Summer has been extremely busy. And to make things more exciting and busier, Austin has decided he wants to try to live with us for a School year. He is excited to get to know his daddy a little better, along with the rest of us, and we are extremely excited to get to know him a little better, and just to have him around!
I have been a little sad lately because I always wanted to birth 4 and I don't really feel complete as a family yet. But I made that decision after I had Sam and it is what I have to live with. So maybe having Austin around for this school year will help me see what Ill be missing out on.
There are 8 days till school and I can not tell you how excited we all our, this is going to be my first year with having Candice gone all day....I have been dreading this school day to come. And now to have a third grader!! So excited!  What makes things more exciting is that our little neighbor Dylan is also going to third grade and these two are looking forward to "hopefully" being in the same class!

Now since I have been completely slacking because it has been unbelievably hot outside, I have to catch up on house work....I mowed the 10 inch grass already this morning, something I have also been dreading, it literally took me over an hour to mow, and usually takes me 20 mins... Cleaned the "Play room" found a complete wardrobe of all 5 kids clothes mixed in all the "goods" of toys, 3 tall trash bags of garbage, and broken toys, baby toys, and a few bears trashed and donated later we have a clean play room, scrubbed the toilets (puke) I honestly dread cleaning the upstairs bathroom after the summer and the boys go home. They can be dirty boys, the baths have rings around them and the toilets are NASTY! Oh the joys of just having older kids. Now to clean more and catch up on all the Summer slacking. So we can start our school year, and have friends over and not be to embarrassed of our "cluttered, dirty" upstairs.
