The summer is coming to an end.

We couldn't be happier.  Seriously though, I always say right before school is ending that it's going to be a long summer, but this one flew by too.  Could be due to the fact that I spent the first couple months of it nursing a jacked up ankle, which made it hard to go anywhere. I don't think I have watched so much day time tv!  I *am going to miss the kids when they go. I'll be a wreck when Jacob leaves, but luckily Jenni and I have a date to go out that morning kid free, so she'll be a good distraction!!! 

We're finally at the point where we're letting the kids go out and play by themselves, as long as other kids are out there. (I'm a paranoid mom) Emily taught herself to ride a two wheeler at Jenni's while I was in Colorado, so she loves going out and riding her bike. (Both of their bikes are a little small, but we'll wait until maybe Easter for new ones)  Nick, being his usual timid self,still has the training wheels on.  I told him next year it's 2 wheels or nothing. 

I had an interview today at the Southdale YMCA in the kids area.  I'll hear back by Monday after they determine whether or not I'm a criminal  ;-)   It'll be nice to be able to take the kids with me when I work, and if they don't need as much help during the school day, I could work the front desk or something.

Aaaannnndddddddd......................mom called me today to let me know that she will be taking me to the Twins game at the end of Sept for my birthday!! She won tickets through work, row 4 right behind the Twins bullpen and first base.  Swoon.   Thanks mom!!!!

Ok I'm off to eat my pizza  :-)
