Summer is Over

Summer is over. Of course Fall isn't here yet and it is still hot as blazes, but still, Summer is definitely over. Bean and Roo started school today which was a bit sad, but a bit happy. The passing of time marked by back to schools and other marker type days is sad, and the house sure seems mighty quiet (yet already much cleaner). However both kids were really excited about starting up again and seeing their excitement made me excited for them as well. I only pray that this year goes as well as the last year. Not that I wouldn't mind a good reason to homeschool if it came to that, but starting with a positive attitude is probably the way to go here!

And yes, I am still pregnant. I have to admit I am surprised about that, I really thought I would be lugging a baby up to the school today. But this looks like it will be my longest pregnancy yet. It has already surpassed both Woo's and Beans and in just a few days will be longer than Roo's. So much for going earlier with each child! If I have time I will probably post just about the pregnancy...right now that seems so separate from the rest of my life. (is denial a sign of impending labor???)

Since I have these bonus days with just me and Woo I plan to really enjoy this week and do some fun stuff with him. Some of that fun stuff will definitely include eating some yummy food together and taking naps together in the afternoons. I feel like a princess right about now! Or maybe just a pampered housewife. Either way, what a treat.

Just to share one lovely story from the weekend before the start of school, Roo had to get 6 staples in the back of head Friday night. Apparently my crazy boy child thought it would be fun to slide backwards down a banister at an outdoor concert we attended that night. With all that long hair of his, there was blood everywhere and we couldn't tell what was bleeding and how bad the injury actually was. After some deliberation (mostly me thinking we could handle things our self) Super B talked me into an Urgent Care Center run. I was defiantly wrong b/c they very quickly saw that he had a gaping wound in the back of head and then just as quickly stapled it back together. In fact they just stapled through his long hair and all. We hope Roo learned something about crazy playing, but honestly doubt this will be our last trip for stitches or staples.
