Well summer is quickly coming to a close with school starting back up in less than 2 weeks so I thought that I would take some time to recall some of the wild and crazy moments that each child had over the last few months~
We will begin with Chase: Chase was on the move all summer long which means that I was also on the move all summer long! He had an excellent baseball season and now we are moving into football and looking foward to that! He has really grown it seems in the past few months and I don't just mean in size just in personality. He is really growing up to be an excellent little man even though he decided that he was a bit big for his britches a few times! A good ol' fashioned attitude from a 9 yr old is just a sign of change and growth I suppose not only for him but for the parents as well! He is getting ready for another big change and that is his best friend moving away. This is a boy that I have pretty much seen every day for the past 5 years! So I'm sure he'll adjust fine but he's going to miss his buddy! Now he is off to the 4th grade!
Liv~ Well lets just say that she has also really begun to come into her own little self over the summer! I'm talking COLLASAL ATTITUDE!!!!! She has been in trouble more this summer than ever before! In fact one afternoon we were driving down the road and I had been listening to her whine and scream all day long! So without even thinking I took the bottle of water that I had and splashed her with it! She stopped! Just needed a little cool down! On the other side, she is just turning into a little girl and coming out of the toddler stage. She is full of stories, sings all the time and tries like hell to mother her baby sister who won't have any part of it! She also doesn't hesitate to tell anyone that they don't match or that they look FABULOUS!! DIVAS........What are you gonna do??? She is looking forward to going back to school in a month and I think she's ready!
Sidney~ Sidney is in a league of her own!!! She's sweet, loving, dances and sings all the time just like her sister, but you can NEVER NEVER EVER leave her alone! Not for long!!! She will get her hands on everything and anything that does not belong to her and it will be DESTROYED!!!!! This is not an exaggeration by any stretch either! DESTROYED!!!! But she is also losing her baby girlness too , she moved into a big girl bed in her new big girl room and now I don't have any more kids in cribs and this makes me very sad but also glad and excited to be moving on to new things with them! And no matter what they will always be my babies and I will tell them that everyday even though they will hate it! HAHA!!
We also ventured out into camping this summer~ I eased my way into it but its not horrible, but it is alot of work! But the deal is that if I camp we have to go somewhere of my choice at least once a year so in September Scott and I are headed for the beach!!!! WOOHOO!!! And next years plan is NYC for the Macys Day Parade!!!!
The kids swam a ton this summer too and the girls loved it! They started jumping off the sides of the pool and floating around in their little rings! It has been so much fun! I'm excited for school to start and for fall to begin so that we can do all those fun activities! So only a few weeks left of "mom can I go here? Can you take us here? I'm bored..., she/he hit me, looked at me, breathed on me!" ;-) I'll also be missing my children running around out in the yard laughing and playing and looking out to find them running around buck naked because they decided that swim suits weren't necessary! The neighbors probably look forward to the cooler weather as well so that they don't have to be exposed to the hijinks that come with any Ditchen you encounter!
I love them all and I'm looking forward to all the new things that they are going to do to make me crazy and happy all at the same time!!
Lovin' Every Minute~
Mom, Momma, Mommy
