saaaweeet summa time :)

Okay then...I tried to post with no avail...I hit the enter key after naming this post...ooopsie ;)

I finally got on this and noticed that I haven't posted anything since January. So much has gone on since then, but hell if I'd remember. Summertime is here. The kids are home and I would love to see them go back :P~~~ Most of the time they are good, however...one ticks off the other and starts a round of war. We know how that is...we have siblings.
So...Chrystan will be in 8th grade this year. Seems that her middle school drama has been minimal to say the least, thank GOD! I know many of us have had rather swallowed broken glass than go through the aches of middle school. She is smart, athletic and an all around good kid. I have been fortunate to be a part of her life. I have been blessed!
On to Caet! Caet is going to be in second grade this fall. SECOND GRADE!!!! Oh my word. The time flies, doesn't it? She had a pretty good first grade experience. A few bumps along the road, but she passed with flying colors. She is also very smart. She is a child who just has to know why things happen. Telling her doesn't get the point across...she has to actually do the experiment to see just why. Tends to get awfully messy, but the mess is short lived, as she will grow up someday.
Then there's Conor. Conor is in the "terrible two" phase. My girls kind of missed that all together so I am getting it 100,oo0%. Of course when he doesn't get his way, he will let you know by a slap, scratch or scream. He is really smart. He has known his alphabet and colors for quite a while. We are working on shapes and colors now. He can form full sentences wonderfully. Some of his favs are "Who is that, mom?" "Where's Caet?" And then there are the "dammits" shits" and other swear words he's absorbed into his vocab. Oh well. I would rather him get it out of his system now. Preschool will be happening next fall, and I don't want him spouting these words there ;)
Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th and fabooo summer!!!
