relaxing summer???

Sorry for not posting lately-many,many many changes happening here in the Boyens house. I will start slow and hopefully be a blogging fool today to catch you all up! BUT first...



I am in need of a serious break! Summer is to be relaxing,right? Well not when you have 3 kids and run a daycare! I know it's my fault,I am the one who plans all of our little adventures.My kids are fine with packing a lunch and heading to the park for the day. I don't know why I am such a super freak and feel the need to be constantly entertaining my children.And with Bobby's work schedule ,It is mostly just me and the kids.So I am the one who plans the outing,packs the bags,gets the kids ready,takes them where ever,sets the rules for the day,feeds them,snaps all the pictures,answers the countless questions from the boys,comes home to bath and feed them,not to mention: unpack the bags,clean out the van and start 1 of the 3 loads of laundry we created that day. Sooo,there hasn't been much time for blogging!

Don't get me wrong we have had tons of fun and made many wonderful family memories.I have spent more money this summer on entertaining my kids then I have all stinkin year! We are on the go everyday! And to top off my summer madness-Football starts this Wednesday-so we will be at the field 5 nights a week from 6:30-8:30.The only good thing about being at the field is it will keep me from spending money.

Well I am done venting my "Mommy Blues" and off to start our day.But before I go let me just give you my schedule for the day.

6:00 wake up to find all the dogs bathing stuff on the living room & bathroom floor
