This year the MOPS theme is “Be You Bravely”. Each MOPS mom received a welcome packet and in the packet were these keys of courage. I am wearing my key and keeping my ear open for another person that just might need it more than me. I love the idea of getting a gift that is to be passed on. …
With our summer days numbered the boys and I headed to the pool. After two hours of splashing and football our pool time was ruined by floating brown stuff… needless to say I could not get the boys out of the water quick enough and get them home and showered. Thankfully it was none of them that ruined the pool…
Today as I was doing some of my chores the boys went into their closets and pulled out the dress up box. I chuckled as most of the dress up items are too small for big brother but he still managed to find a suit that he could squeeze himself into. When ever I clean the floors I set up…
I snapped this picture last night at the sun was setting and the sliver of a moon as appearing. Can it be that it is already August? I feel like the summer has only begun and yet with today being the first of August marks the fact that my boys will be starting school in a mere seventeen days! That…

This afternoon we dropped off big brother for summer camp. Last year he got to go for three days and this year he is going for six days. UGH! I know my boys are growing up and will soon (before I know it) moving out and on with their lives but with each year’s mile stone that reality becomes harder…
Since hubby has been working nights a lot lately that means that I have to keep the boys busy outside of the house. This morning the boys and I packed up their back packs and rode bikes to a nearby park. The boys thought it was the coolest thing. I told the boys that I was not going to be…
Summer storms really are my most favorite thing. Today while we were at a park we got caught in a huge summer storm. We could see the clouds coming in but the plan was just to sit under the shelter and eat our lunch as the rain fell and then after the storm passed to go and play on the…
