Crazy week!

It's been a few days since I've posted anything, I'm slacking big time!  This weekend was insane.  I spent my entire day Saturday running all over town to get stuff done and then home to get ready for Alyx's 10th Birthday Party!  It was a success.  She had a friend spend the night and I took them to see Ramona and Beezus (cute movie by the way).  Aunt Silya came to hang out for a bit and learned some new things from A.J.  We were all laughing so hard I think Jeff was annoyed by the incessant giggling.

Then on Sunday we started football practice.  Needless to say starting August 1st our lives (or my life) revolves around football.  Who would have ever thought that 7 year old football would be so intense?  Bad thing is I knew this going in.  We do this every year and we complain over and over again about how much money it costs, but I still allow him to play.  Shame on me!!  So, A.J. is perfecting his six-pack while we sweat to death just watching him practice every night.  I really need to find a new hobby...geesh!

Lastly, we are all getting ready for school to start.  We've gone to the elementary school and turned in the appropriate forms and have bought our school supplies.  I think the biggest hurdle is reminding myself that my babies are all growing up.  Tonight is the big night for high school schedule pick-up.  YIKES!  I genuinely do not feel old enough to have a daughter starting high school!  This is scary stuff, let me tell you.  Needless to say, tonight I will probably shed a few tears (will post photos tomorrow).

Lots of love to all and get ready for post this weekend.  Saturday is Jeff's 3.5 decade birthday (that quote is courtesy of A.J.) and I will be walking the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5K on Sunday morning.  Should be interesting after a night of drinking for my husband's birthday.  I might have to stick with water!
