The kids are off track. They are looking forward to next year in school. They can't wait for the pool to open. Hailey met her new teacher, Mrs. Edwards. She is nervous and excited to go to a new school next year as part of the ALPS program. She has a lot of catching up to do this summer, because she will be basically skipping 6th grade math. I'm confident she'll do great, but she is nervous.
Abby was just in her UP WITH KIDS play, The Wonderful Witches of Oz. She had so much fun and we were so impressed with the costumes, music and all the kids who performed!
Hailey is going to be starting soccer this summer. She is so excited for it!
I'm doing my best not to be too stressed out keeping up with it all. I've been especially overwhelmed lately. The kids fight like crazy! One minute they are friends with each other and then the next, they fight like cats and dogs. I know that this is normal, but I hate it! I remember fighting with my brothers constantly!
On my other blog www.happyhealthystuff.com I've been tracking my weight loss. I'm trying to lose about 30 lbs. I hope to get there by Christmas. I want it to be a slow loss, so I don't have to do anything overwhelmingly drastic. My goals are to keep exercising, try to not eat late, cut out all sugar, except special occasions. I have cut back on eating meat and this has helped a ton! Besides I've grown to LOVE beans :) I'm trying to add healthy recipes when I can.

For about a week, Ruthie was sucking on her thumb constantly. This is a cute pic of that. She stopped and now sucks on her fingers. Hopefully she won't be a long time finger/thumb sucker like ALL of my other kiddo's
