Has it been that long?

I decided to view my blog this morning and realized it has been a while since I have blogged. So here goes: I think life gets more crazy the older your kids get, not the more kids you have - I could be very wrong only haveing two, but every single night this week we have had some sort of event that does not allow us to just go home after school. It wears me out a little bit. Van started soccer and loves it so much, this year he has realized you have to work together as a team to get the goal. He is now happy when another teammate makes a goal instead of upset. My favorite thing will always and forever be the thumbs up from the field when he likes how things are going!
I was visiting with my friend Sarah yesterday and while I was trying to get my kids into the car with many times of asking, Sarah kept laughing at my kids short attentions span and I realized that although I am frustrated there is not enough time in life to really get that upset. Who knows maybe I will become stronger by physically carrying my 5 year old to the car.
As hard as this summer was chasing my kids around this summer, I am missing them throughout the day while I am teaching. I enjoy spending time with them each night laughing and playing.
I am going to end now, because I want to see what happens to my left nav when I enter a post in September, will all my August things change? I know it doesn't take much to get me excited.

I was wondering if you were ever going to post again. I agree about missing the kids when they are not around. Having Spencer gone at kindergarten makes me appreciate the time that I do have with him. When he comes home from school I want to spend time with him but he always wants to go out and ride his bike. I have actually been making up chores to keep him around longer. How selfish of me huh.
