It's hard to let go

Yesterday it was walk to school day and my kids wanted to ride their bikes. We did and it wasn't enjoyable for Abbey, Kyra or me. However Trevor loved it. He got to go to school earlier and got to play soccer with his friends. After school he didn't even wait for me and just rode home. He is getting to the age (he's 10) where he doesn't need my so much anymore, SAD!

I am glad he is independent but he is my baby only because he is my first child. It is really hard to let him go. Someone please push the stop or pause button so my kids stop growing up. I am scared for them in that evil world. Trevor goes to middle school next year so I know I have to let go but it is hard!

Fall Break

My kids' version of clean



My version of clean
I figured out why they call this weekend (UEA) fall break. It is because when the kids are home this long, my house FALLS apart. Bobby and I nicely asked the kids to clean it today and this sadly is their version of clean. I have been making the joke all week that all my family members (even and especially Bobby) suffer from nonpickupitis! NO one but me ever picks up anything- doesn't it bother them? Apparently not! Anyway, I sent everyone to the movies and I cleaned the room my way. Now I can watch general conference in a peaceful clean room! Believe me it will stay this way too at least until Sunday!
