They're Off...

We sent the big boys off to camp this week. They were so looking forward to going and were beside themselves with excitement. I think they were a tiny bit apprehensive about being away from home, but the excitement won out. I do miss them when they are gone. My big boys are growing into such wonderful young men. Most days they are respectful, polite, and kind to everyone(notice I did say most days). They love being around their siblings and are such a great help to me.
The little ones and I will have a fun filled week of hanging out at home. We are going to play in the sprinklers and kiddie pool a lot. We will probably break out the sidewalk chalk and playdough as well. As for mom, I am still trying to get boxes unpacked, things put away and the house straightened and cleaned. We are blessed that Brad can work from home several days of the week; however, there is a problem with this. The problem: I get very used to having him around. He can help with the kids when his schedule permits, and I can get lots done. This week he has meetings all week and will be out of the house. I guess I will just have to survive like most "normal" moms do. Maybe, just maybe, I can squeeze a little housework in ...
