Just the Two of Us

In just a few weeks I will be sending two of my kiddos off to school. Ike will be in big kid school......KINDERGARDEN! How on earth did that happen?! Quilon will be starting in preschool. Both start on the same day. What a strange day that will be for me.

I am not going to lie, I am kind of excited for Ike to go off to school. And slightly sad. Sad only because that means he is growing up so quickly. But excited because I now get a serious break from the kid! I am sure once September 6th is here I will not want to send my annoying yet smart little Ikers away to school. All day kindergarden! I don't even know if he will truly be ready. I am sure that he is ready to get rid of his annoyingly mean mom!

Quilon will be going to 2 days a week preschool. He is only gone for a couple hours so that isn't to bad. He  has no clue that he will be going to preschool. I have tried to explain it to him but he is in his own little world. It will be interesting to see him in class. Oh that poor teacher!

We went school shopping for Ike this past weekend. He was bouncing off the walls with excitement. We had to find the perfect folder and notebook for him. Spiderman of course. And we found him some black and orange tennis shoes to have school pride. Ike calls him his Herky shoes. Herky is the school mascot.

What will Edison get ourselves into the few hours a week we have to ourselves?! I am guessing he will nap most of those hours. Maybe I will join him....we shall see what we get ourselves into. I can't wait!

Summer Lovin'

Things that I am loving right now:

1. Potato Salad and Broccoli Salad that my mother-in-law makes me. Yummy!

2. My fat easy going baby.

3. Big Brother. Every summer it's my smutty tv fix.

4. My hubby who works extra hard so I can stay home with the off spring.

5. A free pool pass. Perks of the hubby's job!

6. Green beans from my backyard.

7. Boys who play all day in their undies outside. Boys as in my children not random boys.

8. Nights where I can sleep in my big comfy bed with the windows open letting in a cool breeze.

9. Swim lessons with the boys and many of their friends.

10. Netflix streaming.

11. Bike rides with the whole family. Even if I am out of shape and carrying 50+ pounds of dead weight children.

12. Watching little people playing T-Ball. So cute!!! (All should come to Ike's last game this next Monday!)

13. Grilling.

14. Staying out late(r).

And finally:
15. That summer is ending so I can send Ike off to Kindergarten!
