Love my kids oh so much!

My little handsome man LOVES Eggo waffles with honey butter! Lately he has been eating one every morning for breakfast. Well I ran out of them a couple days ago and he throws a tantrum when he wakes up and I give him something else for breakfast, in fact, he won't even eat because he's so mad. So today I made a Costco run and restocked my freezer with waffles. I let him have one for lunch and when he was done eating it I went to wipe his hands and get him out of his chair. He got mad and started shaking his head no and pointing for another one. I made him another one and he took a few bites and next thing I know he's zonked out in his chair! Too cute!

Summer is quickly coming to an end and honestly I am really sad about it! I have loved having my kids home and having a few months with no schedule. Of course my kids have their moments and we have not gone on any family vacations but I have still loved this summer. It was nice having a low-key summer and it's been very lazy and laid back. I am not ready for them to be gone all day and having the hustle and bustle schedule. I am not ready to do homework every night. I am not ready to have Emma be in school full time. I need her home with me and Crew needs her even more! Life really does whiz right by....way too fast!

Emma got her ears pierced this summer which was a big highlight for her! When I was talking to her about it this was the conversation:

Me: "Now remember the rule will be that you cannot wear big earings or hoops!"

Emma: "I know, but can I atleast wear big earings and hoops when I get married?"

Me: "I'll think about it!"

I love the way she thinks! Speaking of silly things my girl says, this is another conversation we had the other day:

Emma: "Mom, remember when I told you that I want to be a dance teacher when I grow up?"

Me: "Yes."

Emma: "Well, is it too late to change my mind?"

Me: "No."

Emma: "Cause I was thinking that I really want to give pedicures or cut hair. Which do you think would be more fun?"

Me: "Hmmm....I don't know! Maybe cutting hair."

Emma: "Yeah, that's what I was thinking too because you know your friend Shari that cuts your hair sometimes? Well she works at home so she can cut hair and feed her kids at the same time!"

(hopefully Shari will read this and get a good laugh out of it)

I seriously love this girl so much! She is a whole lot of drama at times but everything else about her makes up for all that drama ten fold! I have some way cute pictures of her new pierced ears however I can't find my memory card at the time....hmmm...where did Crew take it?

We just finished up school shopping almost a 100% for all four kids. Just a few odds and ends left....whew~! One thing for sure, the Timothy kids will be stylin' this year. I love this part of the year because of school shopping. Who doesn't love buying all new clothes, backpacks, and school supplies?

As I mentioned before, we have had a very low key summer due to the fact that Curtis hasn't been too mobile until just recently. Although we went on zero camping trips, zero four-wheelin' adventures, and zero family vacations, we have still had a good time. It has been kind of nice just hanging out. And we do have some really fun trips up our sleeve for next year that we are so excited about. Despite all the down time we've had this summer, I think this summer has flown by the fastest...go figure!

Life is short!
