The final days of summer
This is Elijah’s final day of summer vacation. He told me yesterday that he was very excited to go back to school. He is especially excited about not having a rest time during the day like he has when he is at home. I will miss him, but it is definitely necessary for him to have some structure. He has gotten so bored lately and I have run out of ideas! The other day Elijah asked me, ” Did you go to school to learn how to be a mom?” No, I answered. And he said, ” Well, you sure are really good at being a mom.” That filled my heart with an unspeakable amount of joy. It also encouraged me that what I am doing here really is worth it. 
This is a picture of Elijah climbing at the Magic House in St.Louis. This place is so much cooler than when I went there as a kid. We went with Grandma Nell and Tracy and even Ryan was able to come.
This is the best picture of Josiah I could get. He was not able to stand still for more than 30 seconds at a time. One of the boys favorite places within the Magic House was the room that looked like a real pizza place. There were tables and pizza trays and a cash register with money. Ryan and I sat down and they brought us our pretend pizza, it was great!
Lily enjoyed the play- in -the -water area and the kitchen area the best. I think she spent a good 10-15 minutes in each area. Which, for an almost 2 year old, that’s great.
My next posts will probably have something to do with school and new schedules and a semi-quiet house. Yaaaah!
