Socks

Many socks enter our washing machine NEVER to return! Does anyone else have a "pile" or "basket" that houses mates to the socks that have been "eaten" by the washing machine??? Hoping that one day the mate will miraculously appear and the world will be right again? I am willing to bet that nobody else has a "sock pile" that looks like this.....
Every morning my children go to the "sock pile" in search of a PAIR of socks....
THIS IS THE OUTCOME....
I am not sure what bothers me more. The fact that they don't even kind of match, or the fact that they look like this....
I am proud to say, "Goodbye sock pile! I can no longer hold on to each of you hoping that one day your mate will be found. It is with sadness that I put you in the trash."

First Day of School 2010!

And they're off......

These are the faces that greet the question, "Can I just take a couple of quick pics before you go?"

Any sympathy?
These are the good looking faces that surrender to my pleading....

Much better huh? They are so cute. Jaxson is a SENIOR!!! Hanna is a high schooler!!!
These are the faces of love as Jaxson teases Hanna without mercy.
Any sympathy yet??????
These are the angelic faces that ASK for a couple of quick pics before they go....

Morgan is in 8th grade!

Emmie is in 3rd grade and Ryanne is a "big" 6th grader.

"This is my life! And it's beautiful!" (I say with a smile.) In all honesty, I MISSED my kids today. No one asked where I was when I came in from running. No one joined me in the shower to ask futile questions. No one made messes and left them all over the house. And no one cared if I came or went. Wait, did I miss them?!!! I DID!!! I love these kids, funny faces and all.

On to a new chapter.....
