Packin' away the beach bag.


Yep- it was inevitable. Here I sit in the middle of the living room floor surrounded by the contents of my favorite bag. Conner's swim goggles, extra rubber flip flops and about 10 lbs of stray sand. On the other side of the room is the Rubbermaid tub also emptied of its contents of long sleeve shirts and sweatshirts that had been packed away.

I just have one question..... "Where the heck did summer go?"

But what a great summer it was! We had such a blast, camping with my family, camping with some great friends. A couple of (outdoor!) Twins games, 2 little boys who are another year older (tear), and Conner losing his two front teeth! The birth of a precious nephew, and days and days spent at the Lifetime pool. The Dakota County Fair and last of all the State Fair yesterday.

Wow! And here I sit with Conner starting 2nd grade and Logan starting preschool. And myself, after almost a year home with my boys, am starting back to work on Tuesday. Granted, it is part time, but I am anticipating and dreading it all in the same thought.

But, I am really looking forward to fall. The high school dance season starts on October 25th and I am so pumped up to see all the girls again! We have a great group of about 60 girls this year and we are going to have a couple good teams!

And of course, there is Vikings football and Gophers football and Farmington football!

Then there is Halloween... Conner told me yesterday he wanted to be Gene Simmons for Halloween, ummm.... OK? So, does anyone know where I can find some kid sized leather pants and knee boots?

Well, the Rubbermaid tub is giving me the stink eye so I'd better finish emptying it before it riles up the appliances. I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and let's hope we get just one more warm day that we can defiantly bust out the flip flops and jump in a pile of leaves!
