A week of church camp, a week of an upper respiratory infection and now a week of my cycle. Could I please catch a break? Is this TMI?

Booked our flights to MCO for our Sept. Disney Cruise. So close to having it paid off completely! This is our first cruise so I am super excited! Also, today is my 15 year anniversary. In 3 years I will have been married half of my life. Woah.

Moments of panic as I come to terms with my oldest being a middle schooler next year...

It is cold. I don't like cold. Go away winter.

I am starting Whole30 on Monday. Anyone else doing the challenge right now? Giving up sugar and cheese for 30 days is terrifying!

My brother is being deployed tomorrow. I was doing fine until a few minutes ago. I am grateful that his location is a safe one and the deployment is reletively short, but it still stinks.

How is it that a child's birthday party can drain me so much. This is why I only throw parties every few years.

Got our standardized test results back. Pleased to announce that according to the test my kids are normal (read average). I hate those tests.

Seriously downsizing the school room. In my wildest dreams we are "functional" minimalists. Not sure we will ever get there, but I am making real progress towards adjusting to our smaller space.

8.5 hours of gymnastics per week is killing me. I can not wait until we are done with the extra summer workouts. Good news is that DD8 leveled up 2 times over the summer and will compete on the new level 3 (old level 4) this meet season. At least the extra hours have paid off!

I am not finding this year's curriculum search to be nearly as enjoyable as the previous years. I am ready to settle in and I can't seem to find "it" KWIM?

Sent the kids outside to enjoy the beautiful day. Maybe my floors will go 5 minutes without needing to be swept...

So thankful for a week off of outside activities next week.

My gymnast did several BHS on the trampoline by herself today!

Why do my kids insist on eating every day?! I swear I just finished washing dishes from lunch and now it is time to start dinner!

Pretty happy with the scores tonight! K did fantastic! 8.2 bars, 9.125 beam, 8.5 floor and 9.15 vault.

I don't want snow.

Rain, rain go away! My kids are stuck inside and driving me insane!

Finally hit the pay now button on my Heart of Dakota order. Now to start the postman stalking...

Oh for a day of actually being at home. Between my oldests art and soccer and my middle child's gym schedule I might as well just literally move into my car these days! Ah, well, these days will pass and probably all too quickly.

The girls did great. Her gymnastics team won 1st place large team. Her best score was a 9.0 on bars, but she did well on all of the events!

My daughter has her first gymnastics meet tomorrow. I am pretty sure I am more nervous than she is!

Thank you! Feel free to poke around as much as you want!
