Whirlwind
Whirlwind.
That is the only word I can find that accurately describes my life for the past few months. Each day has flown by faster then I can comprehend. Our days of summer were fun filled, sometimes lazy, always fun but; passed at break neck speeds. With each day ending, putting us ever closer to the start of school, I felt sad. I love having my babies home and this year, THIS YEAR, my BABY was boarding that big yellow bus and heading off to full day kindergarten.
Last year, I was sending my first baby into the trenches of school and I could hardly discuss it without tears falling. All of my worries, fears, and trepidations were unwarranted however, because he did better than great... He excelled in ways I couldn't even dream were possible.
I really thought I would be ok with Madison starting school. She doesn't present me with the same worries her brother does. She has a certain maturity and street smartness Anthony lacks. She is an easy child most of the time. She does what is asked, she's quiet, she listens.
Anthony is big and bold. He has ideas and he shares them. He will articulate why he disagrees and by god when you hear his reasoning you, most times, see he is in many ways right. He thinks outside the box and beats to his own drum. Madison is quiet and shy. She goes goes with the flow and doesn't buck the system. She is creative and bright. Madison sees the good in everyone and wants nothing more then for everyone to be happy and loved.
These two complete opposite little people are my world. I spent nearly every single day with them since birth and while some days felt like they would NEVER end; I feel like it all just happened in a blink. I want more time. I want to snuggle my toddlers, hold their chubby hands, I want to sing head shoulders knees and toes, 100 times a day. I miss tripping on train tracks and finding lip gloss on my walls. I miss my bedroom covered in baby powder because two mischievous little monkeys thought it was fun to jump on my bed while holding open bottles of baby powder when mommy snuck of to use the potty alone for once!
Life happens so fast. Our children grow up before our eyes in a mere blink. I am sad those days of having my babies home all day are gone. BUT I am excited to experience, enjoy, and discover what this next phase entails. I do know that these two little people are awesome. They amaze and inspire me on a daily basis and it is such a wonderful gift to be able to witness their growth and to enjoy the people they are becoming.
That big yellow bus came barraling down the street last week, scooped up my babies, and took them off on a new adventure. Yes, it left behind a mama hiding her puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks behind some awesome Jackie O's. There were some sad tears, but upon reflection, I realized my tears were not just because I was sad. My tears were falling because I am so proud of them both. These two amazing children have come so far in their short little lives, and I just know they will both achieve and succeed at everything they set out to do!
Happy Back to School Everyone!

AHHHHHHHHH!
So...
I have been MIA again! We were back at the beach, enjoying summer to the fullest, and now gearing up for school!
How is that here already?!?! AND I SEND MY BABY TO KINDERGARTEN MONDAY! EEEK!
The panic is starting to set in and time is running out! I am trying to take DEEP BREATHS as I dash for all the last minute details... BUT since I will have all day to myself my blogging will be back in full force (I hope!!) Monday our regularly scheduled programming will be returning! ha!
