It's been a while

It's October 21st! Where does the time go? I have not sat down to blog in a while and I have missed it. Blogging is very therapeutic for me and somewhat personal time as well. Something that is very limited these days. Of course all my time is spent taking care of the babies. I do take care of my older ones also, but they are not near as needy. As long as they have a plate of food and some beverages they are content. I feel like I spend zero time with them now and it bothers me A LOT!   To make up for it I let them have a friend over all weekend. They love playing with their friends and would probably rather do that then spend time with mommy anyways. It amazes me that Kendal will be 6 next Saturday and Blake is almost 10. I think when I look up next they will be teenagers. 

Kendal will be 6 next Saturday!! :) And of course there is a party. There will be friends, cupcakes, and a sleepover to make this day special. As much as I have talked this over with her and tried to persuade other plans, it's not happening. She insists on a sleepover. I know I am the mom and I can say no, but she is 6. Shouldn't she have a say so about her birthday? I think so!  The boys are going to stay the night with grandma. (Even the big boy, daddy!) So it's just us girls. Yippee I am so excited!! 

I am also  excited about Halloween. I wanted to do more crafts and stuff but I am hoping next year I will have more time. We did go to the pumpkin patch. Where the kids did a hay ride and ran through a maze. There were horse swings the kids played on. Of course tons of pumpkins and pictures were also included. I love this time of year.  The twins are 2 peas in a pod, Blake is an army guy, and Kendal, well we are still undecided. Which we have to hurry and decide tomorrow. Her dance halloween party is Thursday. Very exciting time of year. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. And all are firsts for my babies. I am tickled pink and blue :)
