Where did summer go?

Seems just yesterday we got out of school...now we are going back on the 19th! I started the yearly required training yesterday and I have two more days of it this coming week and then we start real school on Friday.

So sad!

I really didn't get any of the things done this summer that I planned...either lack of funds, lack of desire or plain ole' laziness kept me from them.

Summer school (in June) was fun, but I think I am done with that for a while. I enjoy the kids immensely and I like seeing TA's that I don't normally see in the school year. But, then it feels like I really don't get to start summer break until July (when you just do the first session) and then it's a couple weeks of being lazy and sleeping in (till 8:)) until it really feels like summer. So, anyway...I'm gonna take this next summer off and just enjoy being with the boys!

I have to say that I have a new addiction that HAS been taking up my hot summer days...it's called Pinterest and I LOVE it! It's so fun and soooo time consuming. You can literally spend an hour (or more :) ) pinning and not realize it! You should check it out...if you want/need an invite let me know and I will be happy to oblige!

We took a family vacation to Omaha the last week of July...nothing fancy just visiting Brian's parents and sister with her family, too. We went to the Henry Doorly Zoo, hung out at the pool, did some shopping and went to a giant bowling/go karting/lazer tag place in Elkhorn, the name of which I can't remember. It was a great week and we had lots of fun seeing everyone. The kids are growing up SO fast...I managed to get this shot on my iTouch and I love it!

Ok, that's it for today. We are finishing housework and then going to the movies this afternoon. My mom and I are seeing "The Help"...can't wait! And, Daniel and Brian are seeing "Planet of the Apes". We have to get school haircuts, Daniel's school shoes and groceries too...in addition to church tomorrow and soccer practice. Busy busy!!
