| On the same day my oldest leaves, my Baby Girl turns 13!! Happy Birthday BEAUTIFUL!! |
 |
| right after dropping my son off I then send my girls off to girls camp for 4 days. |
I also would like to suggest that if you drop your son off at the MTC on the day your baby girl becomes a teenager and both your girls go to camp for the rest of the week. Going grocery shopping right after is NOT a good idea. You will come home with a lot of comfort food. although getting a plate of cookies from a friend just because she knew I'd have a hard day, is AWESOME!! I highly suggest that.
It's been a crazy fun 3 months. We've been very blessed and I am very grateful!!
That is so much to take in. Lots of those things are great blessings. But still, it is a lot. Makes me feel bad for whining. :) you really have some wonderful kids. I love them! I hope you are doing okay with the quiet house and the long and short goodbyes. Love you!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I am very grateful for all of my kids and all the great things we've been doing. Life will now go back to normal crazy. HAHA at least for a little while. We all love you lots!! Thanks again!!
DeleteI was thinking of you & praying for you on that day! That's huge. Sarah is right--you have wonderful kids. You're an awesome mom! I didn't know #6 had the force, though! That's incredible! ;)
