Last Day of School and the Chore Chart!

Reality began to sink in last night...(sniff. sniff.) I am getting old. Okay, what I mean is...Victoria is going into 8th grade. That just sounds awful. It is a little sad for me to see her growing up and moving through the sequence of life. I know I should be excited for her, but it just seems like yesterday she was in elementary school. I am actually getting choked up as I write this...Ha Ha! See. I am getting old. Must be the sentimental "hormones" kicking in. To all you young mom's out there...enjoy today and make a memory with your child. Hug and squeeze your kids and tell them that you love them. These precious days do not last forever!

Oh, what's this next photo? Well, it's my favorite thing about summer...the chore chart lands back on the fridge! (Woot! woot!) I love the summer time because I get my little slaves back! Muu-hahaha!

I love saying that because about mid July, when the kids are hot, cranky and b-o-r-e-d, they say to me..."your just in a good mood Mom, because you have your slaves home!" (hee-hee!)
