My little guys are officially growing up.  Over our vacation we finally got our little one potty trained, it’s so hard to believe.  I’m just amazed at how fast he is growing up.  Our oldest started second grade and officially has his first crush.  He’s my little charmer and I’m sure this is his first of many more crushes to come.  I’m starting to feel a little old!  Their birthdays are in two weeks (one day apart…I know we couldn’t have planned it better).  We have decided to combine their parties into one, I wonder how long I will be able to get away with the dual birthday party?  We always have such a fun time with the birthday parties it normally includes large amounts of children running around screaming, hopped up on sugar, you’ll find something burning on the grill, and a homemade cake that is supposed to resemble something like an action hero but normally turns out slightly unrecognizable (stick a couple of action figures on top and wallah…action figure cake). Besides, I think it’s fun to play “guess what the cake really is” at parties, it provides one more form of entertainment for the kiddos.

I hope that you are enjoying the late summer as the kids head back to school.
