I cannot believe the boys go back to school in 4 days! This summer really went fast. (I feel like a broken record because I've said this so many times the last 8 weeks)!! There is something about going back to school in July that makes it seem a little strange. My birthday is August 5th, and I never had to go to school on my birthday. If I were still in school, I think I would be mad about this. I do have to work on my birthday this year, and I think I will be okay turning 39 and being at work!
Two weeks ago, my husband and I got a five day vacation from our boys. My mom took the twins for 5 whole days. They were only 15 minutes away from home, but not seeing them for 5 days was a little strange. They had a great time with GG!
While the twins were at grandmas, my oldest son went to Taylor University Basketball Camp. This is what he looked like when we dropped him off. I swear he grew the week he was gone, and he came home loving basketball even more than ever! I think he learned some new skills that he can hopefully put to use when basketball tryouts start.
While the boys were gone, my husband and I ate out every night. We went to a real movie {no animation involved}. We slept in most mornings. I did not turn the dish washer on all week! I only did one load of laundry. I went for a walk in my hand-me-down shoes from my oldest son.
I pickled 6 jars of beets from our garden. I did not grocery shop one time. No one stole drinks from my hot coffee, or iced coffee, or diet dr. pepper. I was in heaven most of the time. But I really did miss my boys.
We are all back home together for 5 more relaxing days, then it's back to reality. School. Lunches. Bus stops. Homework. Football. Meet the teacher night. Schedules. Routine. I'm really looking forward to it!
