I have not been very good about blogging this summer. Not sure what my deal is but I just haven't felt moved to write about anything until..... today! ha! So, we wrapped up the second camp at the playschool. I loved being a part of it and the children were great. This camp was definitely busier as we had so many boys but they were really good and we had fun. There were a couple of days we were worried we wouldn't be able to get outside b/c of rain but we did and with it being overcast, it was actually really comfortable. We are really blessed to have such nice families at our school. I'm seriously considering finishing my degree through the Bama distance learning. I have more than enough time to devote to reading and it would be really cool to have my degree. I'm not sure what doors will open once I get it, that really isn't why I'm wanting to do it, I'm just doing it b/c I can. I have time, I am interested in early childhood education and it would be a wonderful accomplishment to finally have that degree and from Bama to boot! ha, maybe mom and dad will buy me those diamond earrings. I'd tell them to get me really good cz's b/c I always lose diamonds. So, I have several emails into people at Bama. I've applied and been accepted there twice in my life, I bet I have to reapply. They probably need that 30.00. ha...

We have four weeks left of summer and it better get sunny! The kids are registered and I'm volunteering for registration at both schools this year. Jack is going to be doing the math prep class this week in the afternoon. I'm excited for him to get to know his way around HHS. Joe is super excited for Brocks Gap. He is going to do the jump start program there. I figure its a great way for the boys to slowly get acclimated into school. Jack is signed up for a golf camp beginning of August and Joe starts football August 1. The team roster for the Bears was emailed yesterday. We are on a great team with lots of fun parents. Next year, we'll all be on the same team that is if Joe decides to play football. Rick and I aren't so sure we want him to play in 7th grade. We'll see. Middle school football is really tough and I've seen boys become discouraged before they've even grown and gotten strong and fast. The early bloomers are the superstars in middle school. It might be best to let those boys have the spot light and save Joe for later. Who knows. I do know we are getting excited for some football around here and senior year for Kate. I was running tonight, my three miles, up hills and down hills and I was thinking that I'm so very glad to have a boy going into high school this time and not a daughter. I don't care who you are, or who your daughter is or who y'all hang out with, whether you're kid is a cheerleader, dancer, school news paper editor, flag corp, straight A's, all F's, it doesn't matter, with girls you're gonna have drama. And frankly, I've learned that it doesn't matter how old we are, girls always have some drama, we just learn how to handle it better. So, with Kate being a senior, there is still drama and blah blah blah but its considerably less and with her being more mature, she knows how to deal with it. With boys, ha there isn't any and it is fabulous!
