The month of August seems to be the time where all of the running, playing, picnic's and fun of summer finally hits home. After a few mornings of the snooze button and eyes that feel as if the sand from the backyard box has been poured into them rather than the yellow pail, we are all forced to take a step back. I always find it's really not until I spend a few consecutive days at home that I notice that spider web in the corner and it registers that the boys have only one clean outfit that isn't in a laundry basket downstairs. Why is it that I don't notice those things before?
The intention, of course, is to stay at home and catch up. To indulge in the afternoon nap or Food Network (for me), do the down and dirty mom cleaning, put every one's freshly washed clothes away and cook a well balance meal that takes longer than 30 minutes. Somehow, that just never works out as planned. Saturday were the much planned and anticipated "one year" pictures for Drew. Which turned out great (can I say that as the mom?), I hope to have them scanned to show soon! And then Sunday we went to a realty sponsored day at the ballpark in Akron, then swimming and dinner...by 9:00 pm Jay was sleeping on the sofa and I was wondering why the cleaning fairy hadn't gotten that spider web down yet?!
And so, summer continues. The boys grow, Drew is almost running and he and Jackson spend many evening chasing each other and giggling in glee. Jack is counting the days until preschool begins again, and Jay and I really are just along for the ride! Or at least some days it feels like that!
Today begins another week...and tonight I'll get that spider web!!

If you ever get around to that spider web, can come get mine. I'm glad your August is slowing down, or supposed to be at least. I bet Drew is loving his independence running around now and Jackson is loving the things they can do together now. Hang on tight!
