Fall

The kids and I were playing outside tonight taking advantage of our last Sunday night staying up late because after tomorrow.....school starts!  I was sitting there watching the kids play and it was getting dark so I thought I better go inside and see what time it is, I go in look at the clock and it said 8:50, wow only 8:50 pm and it's already dark.  The first thought that came to mind was FALL..it's all around us, the mornings are a little cooler as well as the evenings, school is getting ready to start, football practice, talk of fair, it's getting dark before 9, Halloween costumes are in the stores, bath & body works has pumpkin hand soap (yay) and all the summer shows are ending!  I love fall it's my favorite time of the year but boy I sure don't know where summer went.  It seems this year is going faster than ever before.  I was just sitting on the porch getting excited for Memorial Day and now we are getting ready to celebrate Labor Day!

Three of our babies are getting ready to go to school.  Holy cow Mackenzie is a 5th grader, Zach is a 2nd grader and Caleb is going to pre-K.  We aren't ready to only have one baby in the house or should I say mommies not ready!  I'm going to be lost without 2 little ones running around.  Life is happening so fast I need it to slow down just a bit so I can sit back and enjoy my little ones before they are all grown up and starting their own lives!
