Summer's End

In two weeks starts the beginning of another school year! WOW, has the summer flown by! We have had a great summer, starting off with Keg's birthday at the end of May, can't believe he's 8! Then, I took the kiddos down to FL so Keg's could go to camp for the week with his cousin T. It is the same camp that we went to growing up then I worked there for 2 summers while in HS. We didn't have it nearly as nice as what Keg's had it! Air conditioned cabins, waterslides, a chapel that actually had walls to it..lol! He had a great time and asked if he could go again next summer!
K and C and I went to the beach almost everyday while Keg's was at camp. It's funny how when you live there you never go, but when you visit..you're there all the time! K loved the ocean..C not so much, she would stand there with her arm floaties on just look at the ocean, if you would try to take the floaties off..oh my! Not happening! My wonderful sis let us invade her home for a week and a half...I'm sure they were thrilled to see us go:) I spent our 9yr anniversary down there...without KJ..he came that weekend. We watched our wedding video..which was nice, since we hadn't seen it! Then we came home for our big 4th of July culd-e-sac party! Those are always fun..we had about 40 people, I think that counted the kids too. We rented a big waterslide again, like we did last year, it was a great day, great weather and great friends!
Then the following weekend, I drove the kids up to NC so they could spend the week with KJ's parents, but while I was there we had a surprise 60th birthday party for dad! It went so well..he was surprised, and the rest of us got a surprise from my grandparents who were there! It was great to see Grandpa Joe, and G & G Waddle! Then, I drove back by myself to GA on that Sunday and left the kids up there...fully suprivised of course! They had the best time...completely spoiled!!
Now we are back to "normalcy"...kiddos go back to school on the 3rd and I return back to work the following week! Amazing how time is flying by! Remember when we were kids and the summers seem to last forever, and we had no worries or cares! Ahhh...ok, snap out of it! Back to reality of doing laundry, feeding kiddos every hour it seems, taking care of the house, endless chores...but I love every minute, even though I may not show it..I wouldn't have life any other way...ok..and occasionally nap will help, but overall...life is grand!
