I am nothing if not an excellent procrastinator, which is why for the past two days i've been making sure my kids all have clothes for school that are hole-free and actually fit. Zane, especially, needed jeans, as he had about 5 pairs of jeans with giant holes in the knees and a few pairs that were inches too short.
In my defense, they have all been growing like weeds, so if i'd bought them clothes at the beginning of the summer, there's a good chance they'd have already outgrown them. Yesterday i got home from work at 2:15 and had to wake Houston up. He'd been asleep for 16 hours, and i'm pretty sure he grew an inch or two overnight.
So i made a trip to the store with Katrina yesterday (boys don't need to come along for bra shopping) and made another trip with the boys today, and everyone is now completely ready for school. Yay!
We haven't ONLY been shopping. Yesterday was the "come to school to meet your teachers and get your schedule" day for Katrina and Zane. Today Zane spent the afternoon at the beach with his friend Justin. We've had Frostys and read a few chapters of Harry Potter and had lots of snuggles. None of us is ready for the summer to end.
Tomorrow the kids are all going to my parents' house for the next couple of nights, which means that they'll have loads of fun with cousins and grandparents and Juanito and i will get to have a couple of nights with just the two of us, which is all awesome. But it also means that my summer with the kids is finished. Sigh.
