My Bigs turned 8 on their last birthday in December, and as if that wasn't enough, they just finished 2nd grade! How does time keep passing so quickly?!?! I miss the toddler stage, and I'm honestly just not ready for my kids to start being so much more independent! But - sigh - such is life, and they are now officially 3rd graders (although my son will tell you - "summers are FREE from grades!"). They are not going to the summer school program that their school holds because these two will be headed to Michigan to spend a few weeks with their grandparents.
And while 8 year old twins equals lots of squabbling, whining, tattling and all around headache-inducing behavior, these two really are great kids and they DO love each other. Look! I have proof!
Meanwhile, my Littles are starting school! They WILL be attending summer school at the elementary school - a class called "Kindergarten, Here We Come!" They absolutely LOVE getting up and getting ready every morning, walking to school, and spending the morning with other soon-to-be-kindergarteners and their new favorite teacher! We even have breakfast and lunch at the school so they can get used to that part of it too! They are now 5, and they are no longer babies. I'm so not ready to let go, but I now I need to!
I am hoping to keep this blog updated with our summer adventures. So far, we've had lots of fun with a big Flag Day parade that went right by our house, a Butterfly Festival, fun at the children's museum, and lots of time playing in our yard! There's lots more to do around here, and I will share our adventures with all of you!
