So since school has started back I am in the routine of dropping off, picking up, dropping off, picking up you get the picture. My car is a restaurant, changing station, shopping basket. It is packed out with backpacks, car seats, leftover french fries, and sippie cups. I don't think it will ever be clean again, and that is really starting to be okay with me. Gotta let the control issues go sometimes Right?

I have volunteered to help out with the school carnival and am starting to see that it is going to be a lot of work, fun, but a lot. The kids seem to be back in the swing of things which is good because I don't know that I could have handled many more after school/need a nap meltdowns. Kinley turns SEVEN on the nineteenth of this month. That makes me crazy. Really is it hard for me to believe that seven years have passed by so quickly. My seven year old first grader, hard to get my head around. She is an extraordinary girl, a leader by nature, brilliant, strong!!! She demands our attention which is good because sometimes with everything going on with Karson she gets overlooked. She definitely makes me smile and I am very proud to be her mama.
