The boys go back to their Dad&#8217;s house for the school year tomorrow and it makes me one sad mama. We&#8217;ve had such a great summer together. We&#8217;ve gone nowhere, done nothing but we&#8217;ve had so much time together. The boys have learned it can be fun to play outside and that maybe video games aren&#8217;t a necessity. We&#8217;ve cooked together and done laundry together. We&#8217;ve done pretty much everything together and they&#8217;ve learned how to do so many things and learned because they asked to be taught. I&#8217;m going to miss them so dang much. Luckily, the move has made it possible for me to spend time with them during the school year. They&#8217;ll be here every other weekend and I&#8217;m now close enough that I can go to school events. I&#8217;m only disappointed that due to the van breaking on us yesterday, I will probably miss the school open house and I very much wanted to go so I could meet their teachers and such. Everyone please pray, knock on wood, whatever you do that the van will get fixed quickly and for a reasonable price. (Edit: The van estimate is $550. I don&#8217;t know what we&#8217;re going to do.)<\/p>\n<p>So what am I doing for me today with everything that is going on? I&#8217;m going to get me some extra kid loves and hugs and kisses. Ben kept giving me hugs yesterday because he knew how worried i was about the van. Roger offered to sell wedgies to help pay for it. If a kid gave him one, it was $5. If a grown up did, it was $10 (because grownups pull harder). I have two of the best kids in the world and there&#8217;s nothing I need more today than to spend time with them.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great day all!<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view&amp;current=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" alt=\"Photobucket\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This summer has flown by.
