Friday Wrap Up – My girls are growing up
It is amazing how fast your own kids grow up. I remember it taking forever for me to get old enough to leave the house but my girls are racing for it.
The previous few weeks saw my 2 wonderful girls heading off to their first days of school. I can’t get over how fast they are growing up……..so cliche……..but DANG IT!!!!
Jules is now in 3rd grade and needs glasses during class. 3rd grade is really when my memory kicked in. I have memories from before that time period, but they are disjointed. 3rd grade seems to be the turning point for me in remembering time frames, activities and actions clearly. That is driving home the reality that my kids are growing up and no amount of want will slow time down.
and then there is Jane….my youngest….sigh. She started pre-school. This is Jane on her first day of school.
Jane is our youngest and last. It kills me that she is getting to the point where she is no longer the ‘mini’ or the ‘baby genius’ ……that’s family code for Jane. She was always small for her age so people were surprised whenever she spoke….baby genius style. She has hit a growth spurt recently so that doesn’t happen anymore. *sniff*
My beautiful, smart, wonderful girls.
Labor Day
We were able to get away as a family this Labor Day….so get ready for the plethora of pictures. Sad story, I was in such a hurry to get out of town and drive the many hours to our camp spot…..that I forgot my camera battery that I was charging on my kitchen counter. So all of these are iPhone pics.
More work on the Playhouse
Part of my to-do’s has been to get some stuff done for the girls in the playhouse….last November (??) Dave and I moved our old shed to the other side of the yard, up a hill and started work.

We had some extra flooring left over from a project that we never got to do….so we put it on the floor of the playhouse….we still have some left over – so Dave is contemplating putting some on the loft.
I made a sign using some old plywood and the left over paint from our front door.
The girls had their first sleepover in here last weekend. Good times were had by all.
There is still some work to do on the loft and the wall that the door is on….but holy cow – what a difference.
What do you think??
