It is here... the night I have been dreading all summer long...it was the last night I got to tuck in the big kids and kiss them and know we could snuggle first thing in the morning. Tommorrow will be Bella's the last time Bella can sneak into bed with us and Johnny can wake Mateo up with his kisses...BECAUSE come Wed. morning that DARN alarm clock will be waking us all up!!!!!! I will miss our lazy days...our fun adventures...our summer list...our 8pm dinners...our weekday movie nights! But...on the bright side...while they do homework I will sit beside them to help....while she goes to ballet class I will sit outside and watch...while he practices Chinese I will listen in awe....while they walk toward me as I pick them up from school I will savor the look on their eyes and the smiles on their faces when they see Mateo and I pick them up. And as much as I love our summer vacation together...I do love snuggling them in our Fallish goodness that October brings....so I pray for a healthy and happy school year for my wonderful 8th grader and enchanting 5th grader. And to the love of my life Jamas I am so grateful for your love that fuels me to be the best mommy and love that I could ever be...and to my sweet Mateo, I look forward to our fun beach runs and doggy walks together, and being home to teach you your ABC's and 1-2-3's....and to Big John..we have done good..we were blessed with some awesome kids that I truely enjoy sharing with you! Cheers to the necessary evil I call the School Year!
