One of my favorite commercials of all time came out a few years ago, for Staples Office Supplies I think. It showed a father pushing a shopping cart filling it with school supplies and dancing down the aisles, kicking his feet and grinning ear to ear. Two not so happy kids were following behind with scowls on their faces, arms folded, eyes rolling and the song "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" was playing. Great commercial and exactly how I feel this summer.
It's time for some quiet time for mom. Has been quite a summer. My folks spent most of the summer taking the kids on hikes and just keeping them company. I do believe this is what saved Johnathan from a complete breakdown. He decided he would babysit Kelli this year. First day this summer, he called me at 8am, "Can you do something with her, she doesn't mind." Imagine that. Of course Kelli is on the other line tattling about how John was trying to "boss me around." I guess she forgot the talk the night before about how John was in charge. That selective memory, selective hearing and selective interpretation that she seems to be a chronic sufferer of now. Anyway it was going to make for a long summer, so Grandma and Grandpa came to the rescue.
Has been a long summer, Miss Kelli has became quite opionated, but still keeps us in stitches too. She told me tonight that she had a boyfriend, and that they were in love. I have been forbidden to mutter a word of it to anyone, Lord help me if she reads this, but I sure can't confide in her dad or brother. They would probably tease her terribly. She is very concerned about going back to school, since she is sure that another boy may want to be her boyfriend and then she won't know what to do with two of them. I just giggled and she looked at me with a very stern look on her face and said "This is serious Mom." More drama, thats my Kelli.
I got Kelli registered for school yesterday and John today. Just a few more days and I work most of them. Not very often I look forward to work, but lately I haven't minded.
It's Time...

Oh. It is too good to be true!!
Kellie moments are back. You just have to tell her she has to have a song or a poem or something ready for Sammy at the picnic. God must surely have smiled as he made the Kellie mold in heaven and then in satisfaction broke it so there would not be another KELLIE!!!
